Default Butterfly iGlide App now available in the US

Both seems to be the same issue. iGlide may not have access to the internet, this means it cannot load the upgrades and data. Sure your device is connected?

Hello everybody,








iGlide, our iOS gliding navigation application is now in made available today in the USA and Canada. We have just released it and await Apple to activate it any minute. You can download it directly on the Apple AppStore.








iGlide has been incredibly successful in Europe. Our Team worked hard to get it ready for the US market, the main work was integrating necessary data and market specific functionality such as different units etc.








iGlide comes in three editions. As a start you can try the "lite edition" (priced $29,99) that features basic functionality. Additional features of higher editions can be directly purchased inside iGlide later on.






This is a very interesting implementation. A couple of comments: I cannot currently buy an upgrade from within the app. The choice is not offered. Second, though the documentation says you need an external GPS, it seems to work fine with the internal one on an iPhone 4S. It does not let you download maps from within the app as described in the documentation, but you can download them on the web and then install via iTunes.
