Am only familiar with Foreflight's Stratus system I use it with an Iphone 6+ as the primary nav tool, and with an Ipad Mini as a moving map backup. For the Ipad you either have to upgrade to a cell phone model or get the Stratus gps receiver. The Iphone works independent of the stratus but lacks some of the functionality foreflight lends to the Ipad. I opted for the Stratus II model with the ADSB available in limited areas.
The Stratus II gives a very effective AH display on the Ipad, but not the Iphone. Limitations in a tailwheel are that the stratus needs to be synced before you start moving, and will therefore show level flight in the 3 point attitude. reregistering in flight has been a hit or miss effort.
I liked the idea of having a fallback attitude indicator as the J5 is strictly VFR, and if I did get caught out, I would really like a gps with attitude superimposed on it to get down or up out of trouble.
Just ordered one up-- 16GB 8" tablet, new, for $100.
Tough to beat that.
Thanks for the tip.
Got the tablet the end of last week, have it attached to the center panel via a ledge mount + Velcro.
Downloaded the free Avare app, I like it so far. I've only flown about 3 short trips with it so far, but have screwed around with it on the ground a bit also. There's a learning curve involved, esp since this is my first touch screen device plus I'm not a big tech guy, but I'm already getting the hang of it pretty well.
I also downloaded the free FltPlanGo app a guy I know uses, haven't looked at it too much but from the little bit I did I prefer the Avare.
Best Buy has that droid pad on sale now for 79$, not sure if thay have a 30 day better deal thing but you might be able to get 20 bucks back. How's the dPad working?
