Default Recommended configuration: ADS-B receiver, iPad, software?

Thanks Darryl.Â* I only use the iPad with Garmin Pilot in the 180,
nothing else, so I don't care about any of the Apple stuff.Â* It was the
hardware that I needed to do the job.

the iPad and the friendlier operating system and wealth of applications,
I like the Android much better.

I have a Trig 22 and ADS-B out in my glider and I also have a portable
WAAS GPS which will receive all of the ADS-B in targets, weather, TFRs,
etc.Â* I haven't used that in the glider yet, but it's coming.

You can stop being nagged at to do iCloud backups by turning them off :-)

It's an example of "Apple knows best".
