Foreflight is $75 per year (about 12 gallons of 100ll).

Is it worth waiting for "something" from Control Vision?

I'm not connected with Foreflight any any way other than as a happy =
customer.  As I look at all the other expenses related to flying, =
$75/year for a subscription to Foreflight absolutely does not move the =
needle.  Neither,, for that matter, does the cost of an iPad or two (in =
case you drop one!).

It isn't an end all be all application, but I consider anything that =
gives me a bit more situational awareness well worth $75.
