alan_k Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Technical question about Runway HD. I'm thinking of getting this, does it rely on any data from the phone connection or is it purely standalone GPS based. I'm guessing this might depend on the actual smartphone? Any info appreciated.

andre_74 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 You need a data connection to download NOTAMS and to purchase/download charts. However, once this is done, you can effectively put your iPhone in ‘Flight Mode’ and it’ll still work using GPS. Note: You do need to pay for a GPS subscription, so you still need to connect it to a data connection to renew this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_k Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Thanks Andre, is the GPS subscription covered by the Runway HD subscription? Think I may have found the answer 'Maps are available right down to Ordnance Survey level and priced separately from the software and GPS subscription.' How much is the GPS subscription?

Subscription information and details of packages here: http://users.airboxaero.com/Subscriptions.aspx Go to the website and create yourself a login there. Once you have a free account, go to the subscriptions page and buy a subscription using the discount code Simon has posted above. Then, once you download the app, sign in with your username/password and the app will activate all of the subscriptions you have purchased (at the cheaper online price, as opposed to an in-app purchase ). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
