John,

What's the setup process like for FSX and ForeFlight? I see from your website that I would also need FSUIPC4. Do you have any documentation that would help me configure each of the pieces properly so they all play nice together?

It should work great with Jeppesen FD

It should work great.

John,

That being the case, you might want to update the copy on the web site to state that it's compatible with any location-aware apps, rather than just a narrowly defined list.

It's great news that it works with all of 'em!
