Weather updates, of course. But can you really get your GPS Position out of an iPhone - iPad connection.
I prefer the the cellular version just because it has a GPS built in, the Wifi only version must be used with some external (e.g, BT) GPS receiver. In our club all planes now have an air-avionics AT-1 traffic receiver which makes it‘s own Wifi. If you connect the iPad to this Wifi, you get your own position and SD (and othe apps) shows traffic around.
I also think that in the US SD is not as good as FF. In Europe you can easily access all freely available charts, in the US I didn‘t see any FAA charts available.

Hi All,

My first post in these forums, I want know what kind of iPad I’ll need for skydemon to work? The one with cellular and WiFi or just cellular? Also when flying will I need internet access to my iPad when using skydemon?

During my PPL training I was taught to use chart and dead reckoning navigation, but now since I’ve passed my skills test I am looking to invest into sky demon for my navigation and situational awareness backed up by CAA 1:500:000 VFR chart.

Thanks for your input.
