There are few issues that were not resolved in the past 3 years. VOR and flight plan shows true headings and not magnetic. The blue tic marks on the compass rose of VOR in HSI mode are correct. The airspace blue line boundry jumps arround. The glide slope in the latest version is gone. The FInd Airport menu within flight plan does not give the option to choose airport ID, name or City. These are just some of the issues. Due to the fact that basic issues were not resolved lead me to firmly belive that Approach -systems does not have a devlopment group and did not since 2007 and all they do is get map updates from other sources and that is it and nothing more. Also they have no mission statement nor any intensions to get APIC working or WinCE which almost everyone uses or iPhone. it is sad that a nice software like this was just dumped.

However be wary if you live outside the USA as their databases and map / airspace reservation support is very poor in other countries. Indeed they are so old and patchy that they are illegal at best and dangerous at worse. That said for $9.95 you get a devent system for the USA. The software is quite good, agreed.
