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.

At Oshkosh I visited the WingX booth and stood listening to a couple of 'demos'
by the 'programmer'.  He was convinced WingX could walk on water...

I couldn't decide if he was selling ipad 'twos' or aviation software.  He said
to get an ipad 'two' over and over.  Don't get a 'one' he said.  He promised
many 'improvements' were coming.  I've been to more than thirty Oshkosh sales
pitches in a row (years) so the pitch sounded very familiar.  I left wondering
why a 'two' was so much better than a 'one'???  And nearly forgot the aviation
part..  Perhaps, it is because I've been in the computer world for 50+ years.

That said, I've following this conversation closely and also interested in the
'findings'.

I'm a current user of AnyWhereMap with a lifetime subscription.. waiting for
Control Vision to offer something for the ipad. ;)
