It'd be great to have a NAV-only iPhone version for those of us whose cockpits are too tight to mount an iPad. The route would be planned on iPad / PC / Web and then synced to the iPhone app via the cloud.

My answer above still stands. Furthermore, there are strong rumours that a mini 7" iPad will surface around October time.

A 7" ipad is an intriguing thought. I have plans to re-engine my Rans s6 and will be replacing the existing panel. A mount on the panel is laready planned and a 7" ipad would fit. Would just need a suitable mounting bracket, which I'm sure will be available in due course.

I also like the idea of running SD on a phone as a back up.

My trusty 6 year old Nokia still serves me well, but I'd be very tempted by the combination of an 7" ipad and iphone sync'd together for SD.

SD and a cheap Chinese satnav = Jobzagoodun.

I would still be interested in a simple iPhone navigator. The iPad can pack up due to overheating / battery / .... so having a backup would be worthwhile. As there is no way to transfer routes directly from iPad to a Windows Mobile device or to a Garmin, the obvious solution would be an iPhone...

Having SkyDemon on the iPhone is not just a matter of a smaller device (true the iPad is BIG, especially on the bowtie yokes of a Cherokee).

It's a matter of safety.

IPads can fail (had twice the overheat issue), like any electronic device.

SkyDemon on IPhone would allow a backup device programmed with the same route information.

No effort, and peace of mind.

Today I have to lose my time programming ANP (so double work) as a backup device. Silly. And the iPhone is MORE than enough for navigation. Remember the first panel GPS with a couple of pixels...
