Overview
Warnings
Carefully review this Owner’s Manual and make sure you thoroughly understand iFly GPS’s functionality and
operation before attempting to use the unit during actual flight.
Do not install the iFly GPS where it obstructs the pilot’s field of view or interferes with operating controls.
The flight indicators shown on the iFly GPS are based on GPS-derived data and may differ from the aircraft’s
instruments.
The altitude shown on the iFly GPS is geometric height above Mean Sea Level and may differ from the
altitude displayed by pressure altimeters. Always use the pressure altitude displayed by your aircraft’s
altimeter for determining aircraft altitude.
While flying, compare indicators from the iFly GPS with other available navigation sources, including
the information from cockpit gauges, other NAVAIDs, visual sightings, charts, etc. Although unlikely, it is
possible for erroneous operation to occur with the iFly GPS. It is the responsibility of the pilot to resolve any
discrepancies before continuing navigation.
GPS and Source Data Notes
The United States government operates the Global Positioning System (GPS) and is solely responsible for
its accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and
performance of the iFly GPS.
Interference from GPS repeaters operating inside nearby hangars can cause an intermittent loss of altitude
and heading displays while the aircraft is on the ground.
The data contained in the terrain and obstacle databases comes from government agencies. Adventure Pilot
cannot guarantee the accuracy and completeness of the data.
Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) data is provided by the FAA and may not be updated outside of normal business
hours. Confirm data currency through alternate sources and contact your local FSS for interpretation of TFR.
Do not use outdated sectional maps. Sectionals must be updated regularly to ensure that the information is
accurate. Pilots using outdated sectionals do so at their own risk.
General Notes
Avoid using any chemical or abrasive cleaners on the touchscreen and/or plastic casing. Clean the
touchscreen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol, or eyeglass cleaner, if needed.
The iFly GPS does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Repairs should only be made by an authorized
service center. Unauthorized repairs or modifications could void both the warranty and the pilot’s authority to
operate this device under FAA/FCC regulations.
All visual depictions contained within this document, including screen images, are subject to change and may
not reflect the most current iFly GPS receiver. Depictions may differ slightly from the actual unit.
Use of polarized eye wear may cause the flight displays to appear dim or blank.
Only use the power adapters provided with the iFly GPS or recommended by Adventure Pilot LLC.
Do not leave the iFly GPS in extremely high or low temperatures. Do not use in a humid environment or
submerge in water.
Do not place near magnets or large speakers. Do not put gold, metallic objects, or electric wave emitting
objects around the iFly GPS.

Overview
Updating your iFly GPS
The iFly GPS software, databases, and charts can be updated through the iFly GPS website. To perform the
update you will need: 1) a USB Flash Drive, 2) a login to the website, and 3) a valid update subscription.
The website is www.iFlyGPS.com.
If you do not have a login, create one by clicking the “Register” button at the top of the screen. Be sure to keep
your login and password in a safe location. Once registered, it will be necessary to link your new iFly GPS with
your account.
If your purchase included a free trial subscription, activate it by selecting the “Activate Subscription” option and
entering your iFly GPS serial number and the activation code included with your purchase.
If your purchase did not include a free trial, you will need to purchase a subscription through the online store.
Performing the Update
1. Click the “Updates / Create Update Package” menu option on the website.
2. Insert a USB Flash Drive into your computer.
3. Using the checkboxes on the Updates page, select the items you would like to update.
Notes:
• It is not necessary to update every chart that expires; we recommend you only update data that is relative
to your flights.
• An update file cannot exceed 2GB in size. If you need to update all files for the entire country, create
multiple update packages: one for all the Plates, another for all the IFR Enroute Charts, etc.
• The first three checkboxes in the list: “Weather & TFRs,” “Airport & Navaid Database, and “Software”
should always be updated when available.
• Mac Users: If using Safari, confirm the following before proceeding. Go to Safari Preferences and under
the General Tab, confirm the Open “Safe” Downloads box is unchecked.
4. Click the “Create Update Package” to create your update package. Depending on what you have selected,
this may take a few seconds or more than a minute.
5. When the package is created, you will be able to download the resulting file (called iFlyUpdatePackage.zip) to
your USB Flash Drive.
Note: This step varies greatly based on your computer’s hardware, operating system (OS) (Windows or
MAC), specific OS versions, USB Flash Drive type, and the browser you are using. Please consult your OS or
browser documentation to learn how to download files to a specific location. (i.e. the USB drive).
6. Eject or safely remove the USB Flash Drive.
Note: Do not pull the USB Flash Drive out of your computer without first ejecting or safely removing it.
Consult your OS documentation for information on how to eject or stop your USB Flash Drive. If this step is
not accomplished, the file may not be completely copied, and the update process will fail.
7. Insert the USB Flash Drive into the iFly GPS, then select Menu  Check for Update File. The update
process will commence. Do not disconnect power or attempt to do anything else with the iFly GPS until the
update is complete.

Overview
Using the Touch-Screen
Panning
Swipe your finger across the map to move (or “pan”) the view to
another area. Panning temporarily hides all the instruments and
buttons on the map. This can be useful if you need to see text or an
image that is behind something else on the map. For example, the
Altitude instrument may be covering an airport frequency.
Activating Buttons
Activate buttons by touching with your finger and releasing. This works
for buttons on the map (Menu, Zoom In, etc.), and buttons on the
forms and dialog boxes.
In order to maximize the amount of screen available for displaying the
map, the control buttons will fade to be almost invisible after about 30
seconds. However, the buttons are still active in this mode. Touching a
faded button works the same as touching a non-faded button.
Note: You can change button fade settings in the Setup Menu.
Switching Sectionals
Only one sectional is displayed at a time (however, both sides of
the sectional are shown at the same time). To switch to another
sectional, touch the area of the screen that contains the sectional you
wish to view and it will be brought into the foreground. Sometimes
two sectional maps will overlap each other. If you wish to view the
sectional that’s “underneath” the currently display map, touch the
Switch Maps button. The Switch Maps button will only be visible if
two or more sectionals are within the boundary of the current screen.
Markers
Tap the screen with your finger to drop a marker on the map. The
marker displays the distance and course from your current location
plus the latitude/longitude of the spot you touched. It disappears after
about 10 seconds.
You can also place a permanent marker at the location (useful for
keeping track of your distance and course from a particular point on
the map) or access other options by touching the Options button that
appears with the marker. See Possible Actions Menu on page 18.
