Default iGlide and iPad mini

Anyone flying with iGlide and an iPd mini? What are your thoughts, does the iPad mini work well in the cockpit? Are you happy with this combination, is the mini bright enough to see in the cockpit, does the battery last long enough, what mount do you use?

Any comments would be helpful. Thanks


I use an iPhone 6 plus with Bluetooth connection to a Bad Elf pro GPS, and it works great! The combo is very quick and accurate, plus I was able to create my own glider polar in iGlide to match my sailplane. I did not have room on my panel for anything extra, so I used a kneeboard instead. It holds my phone securely and I have no problem seeing the screen in bright sunlight. I highly recommend using iGlide.
