 Gents:  I don't work for ForeFlight or Apple, but I was an early user of the
iPad/ForeFlight combination (started on my iPhone).  I was especially happy
when the ForeFlight application was upgraded to provide moving map
functionality.
 
 I had buyers blues a little when some of you went out and bought Windows
based HP Slates and other devices to run Seattle Avionics Software, especially
as it provided geo-referenced positioning on approach plates and airport
diagrams.
 
 Apparently, ForeFlight and Seattle Avionics have now teamed up and ForeFlight
is using Seattle Avionics' geo-referencing capabilities via a licensing
agreement.
 
 Disclaimer:  I haven't used it and can't guarantee that it works.  But I did
buy a GNS 5870 MFI GPS Receiver to enhance the capabilities of my iPad 3G ($99
and free shipping from Amazon), and I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last
night.
 
 The ForeFlight Pro annual subscription that allows approach plate
geo-referencing costs $149.99 per year rather than the normal $74.99.  I'll
let you know how it works after I try it!
