For android the app is IGCDroid. I've been using that along with Delorme InReach. IGCDroid works great too. It's very simple to start it up and just let it run. The beauty of the phone app is that it provides fine resolution mapping and it's practically free. The InReach unit provides coverage where there isn't cell service. In the west, there's a lot of territory where cell phones don't work; I think, less so in the east. I've added a power port to my panel so that I don't have to be concerned about draining the phone battery. Having the phone running has some other benefits as well.

I also am using the IGC Droid since last spring. Simple down load and install. But cost's $10. My data usage is extremely small and runs close to 6 hrs on my cell. I carry a 15,000 ma battery that will charge my cell if needed. Works everywhere I have flown including the remote area's North and east of Carrizzo Peak, NM ( where the Aliens landed) where there is no cell coverage on the ground!
Still carry a spot as the features it offers could be life saving.

Yes, Evan, I watched your "text book" pattern.
