What do you mean by GPS link? Are you talking about a peripheral GPS like bad elf, or the GPS that is integrated in the 3G/4G chip?It reportedly works up to 10000 MSL or something like that with the GPS link.

I just wish we could get JOGs/1:50's for foreflight. That would be sweet.
I was giving that some serious consideration but I've read a few poor reviews on the stratus unit and $800 for the stratus plus $500 for the ipad is a lot.I don't think he meant in-flight, but if you want in-flight weather, there's ADS-B

I've been told that the common cockpit is getting a moving map "soon." I have no idea if that means in a year or 3.
In my limited experience with my iPad (1st Gen) and my iPhone 4, I have noticed that my iPad gets a better signal than my iPhone. If that's the case, I think I'll maintain a pretty good signal at standard helo altitudes. I say this based on the fact that I've checked the WX using my iPhone at standard helo altitudes...I'm really trying to find out at what altitude an iPad with 3/4G will lose signal, not that it would be on in flight, just a point of curiosity, obviously.
If you register through the site that Brett and I were talking about, you can get all the alphabet soup charts (other than sectionals) and put them on your iPad. I'm not smart on how they're read within the OS, but they tell you how on the site.
@Otto,

90 series is supposed to come with the moving map. We're getting 86 series, JMPS and the hand unit (to replace the replace the mouse stick/PKs) now. When I was at PAX for JMPS training the word on 90 series was a year to year and a half out. Im sure a VX-1 rotorhead or someone with more knowledge than myself can confirm.
Same shit, different pointing device.Romeos are supposed to get -86 and JMPS this/next month. I can't wait. I'm sure it's a paradigm shift. I just want a "FIX" button.
