Hi folks,



Careful what you wish for with Apple and iPads.



I understand that Memory Map now has a problem in that Apple wish to insist that all charts etc used on an i system are purchased via itunes at 30% extra.



How will the superb system and chart updates on SD which are free be handled by Apple which does not seem to like even getting up in the morning without being paid??

Hi Tim,



Appreciate this seems to be somewhat veiled in secrecy but when can we expect an announcement?



Thanks,



Ian

Thanks Steve, good idea. Don't have the iPad just yet so did not realise it had that built in.

I'd just leave the SIM in the phone and enable personal hotspot.

Thanks for that, really interesting. Just need it working on SkyDemon now. Think the screen size will be OK to be going on with. If I had an iPad and iPhone, how would I manage the SIM cards? Can you clone it so long as only one is switched on or do you need to constantly change the SIM. I'm thinking about upgrading to iPhone 4 and maybe an iPAD later. Assume they will both have the identical Micro SIM I think its called?

All iPhones and 3G iPads have proper GPS units.



The suggestion that they don't is an urban legend perpetrated by people who do not properly understand what AGPS is.



Basically if your device has network access, it improves the time to first fix by downloading the GPS almanac instead of waiting for it to trickle down from the satellites.



If you have no network access, then they are a bit slow to get a fix, but once they do, the performance is good.

If SkyDemon eventually works on iPhone/iPad?

Do all iPhones have the same GPS and is it based on cellular network triangulation etc. Not a proper GPS?

Thanks

Hello Pink Leader, Apologies for not getting back sooner. Not found a suitable unit from Korea yet. Most of the websites I encountered were in Korean and were sparse on English. I have a Korean friend who is assisting in scanning & translating some GPS selling websites to English. She assures me that "if it can be made, you'd find it Korea!".

I will keep you posted once a suitable set is found. In the meantime, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.

Which Korean unit?

This is good news. Our prayers this Christmas may be answered next Christmas. Provided no hiccups or overheating problems are encountered I look forward. In the interim I am looking at he possibility of getting a set with a transreflective touch screen direct from Korea.
