Air Navigation Pro - Android

[bobthebuilder]

Has anyone had any experience with the Android version of Air Navigation Pro?

[D2O]

I have, but only the smart phone version.
It's a lot more limited than the iPad version

[bobthebuilder]

What does the ipad version offer that the android version doesn't?

[D2O]

Android version doesn't have a slip ball, many of the instruments like altimeter, EFIS or 3D like this :




Also doesn't seem to save the track you flew on the Android version, or support live tracking, weather station list, or have a flight logbook as in the iPad version
It's good for planning and GPS moving map flying though. I think they just focussed on iPads rather than Samsung tablets and Android phones.
On the up side, the Android version is much cheaper

Would the screen be big enough on a Samsung galaxy note 2?
Screen size is around 5"

They do seem to offer live tracking..... but that's about it, no bells or even half a whistle.

Oh wait .... there does seem to be an altimeter and ground speed indicator.
For the money, it it probably worth a try.

I have it on my I phone 5, but still have to buy the local area maps. Pretty pricy!

[bobthebuilder]

How pricey?

If I recall correctly the 1:500k map was in the region of R130

I have Air Nav Pro on a Lenovo Tab. No problems with it. Have the 1:500 000 Airmap installed.
