FSWidgets iGMap - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

The FSWidgets iGMap app turns your iPhone or iPod touch into a moving map for your desktop flight simulator!

(See iGMapHD for the iPad Version)

Do you own MSFS, FSX, FS9, X-Plane or Aerofly FS 2?

This app works with the three most popular desktop simulators on the market today, giving you a hand-held moving map to aid navigation, especially on simulated VFR flights.

It connects to the flight simulator via our free FSWidgets Network Pack which can be downloaded from the FSWidgets website (http://fswidgets.com/shop/network.php).

iGMap saves valuable screen real-estate on your desktop by using your iPhone or iPod Touch to display your aircraft's current position.

Nice

Nice, but it would be really good if it could show Google Map maps!

Great App + Great Support

This App is a really great wireless moving map for X-Plane (and I believe also other flight sims). I had a little trouble with the stability using an iPhone 4 in combination with X-Plane on a Mac at first, but the very friendly and supportive developer was able to quickly provide an alternative plugin to Python which seems to have solved the problem. The price seems a little high at first, especially taking into account it is not universal for both iPhone and iPad (the iPad version - which I am about to purchase - is an additional purchase). There are a few other apps for use with X-Plane out there that are very useful and cheaper, but none providing a map overlay as iGmap. If you are a flight simmer and want a moving map with several different overlays to chose from, this is the right app for you. The developer is very user orientated and I am confident there will be great updates including new features for this app in the near future. Keep up the good work!

Cool but.....

Igmap is a cool App. 4 flightsimmers but it would Be cool if can add Charts 4 Europe and South america that would Be very nice. Then we want Some ifr charts that would make the App. Excelent .... So try to make that for us...
