Avidyne has updated its IFD100 iPad app so that it supports multitasking, allowing it to run simultaneously on a split-screen and share information with the other multi-tasking app. Users can download the latest version of the IFD100 app (10.2.9) from the Apple App Store for free, although it works only with Avidyne IFD FMS/GPS navigators, including the IFD550, IFD540, IFD440, IFD545, IFD510, and IFD410. The IFD100 app allows pilots to control the IFD FMS/GPS directly from the app.
"With this latest version, the IFD100 app can now be displayed on a split-screen with other apps that support multitasking,” said John Talmadge, Avidyne v-p of worldwide sales, “including the industry-leading ForeFlight app, as well as SkyDemon in Europe, allowing pilots even greater utility and more capabilities."
