This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Removed ForeFlight Enable Mode - No longer necessary since ForeFlight now works natively with SkyGuardTWX ADS-B Transceivers. Added new display fields for Pressure Altitude (expressed in Flight Level Format - i.e.: FL011 which are hundredths of feet). In order for Pressure Altitude to be displayed, ADS-B Transceiver must be a Vision-Pro Plus model and must have Rev. 40 or greater firmware.

Added new UI button for Vision-Pro Plus ADS-B Transceivers running firmware version 37 and greater that will allow the Transceiver to communicate with the ForeFlight Mobile Flight App. To get further details on how this works, go to WWW.SkyGuardTWX.com and look under the Discussion Forums under the SkyGuardTWX App. Forum and see the post for ForeFlight Mode. Added new UI button for Vision-Pro Plus ADS-B Transceivers running firmware version 37 and greater that will enable/disable the Auto Detection of Squawk Codes circuit contained in the Transceiver. If this button is turned OFF, then no communication with a Mode A/C/S Transponder is allowed which then requires manual entry of Squawk Codes into the ADS-B Transceiver using the SkyGuardTWX App. or and other Flight Apps. that support SkyGuardTWX Transceiver configuration.

Corrected minor issue where detected squawk code was stored in iPad/iPhone memory. Now hides the squawk code detect ON/OFF button unless the app. is connected to the appropriate Transceiver model that supports this feature.

March 20, 2015

Corrected a few display errors when running on iPhone 6 +. Added the ability to read back and display the previously stored Squawk Code in the SkyGuardTWX ADS-B Transceiver. Added a user button on main screen to either enable or disable this feature. This feature was added to support requirements for the "single point of entry" squawk detection from a Mode A/C Transponder and will be supported in an upcoming new model of the SkyGuardTWX ADS-B Transceiver.

August 16, 2013

Added totally new feature which provides both visual display of Aircraft Traffic Information as well as Audio Alerts for aircraft within 3nm of your current position. For both the iPhone and iPad app. versions, a table of received Aircraft Traffic is displayed. This list of aircraft is ordered so that the closest aircraft to your current position is displayed first at the top of the list. Additional aircrafts are ordered in the list from nearest to farthest. Once a target aircraft appears within 7nm away, the text color changes to yellow. Aircraft within 5nm to 7nm will appear in orange text. And aircraft within 3nm of your position will appear in red text. The textual information for each aircraft contains the aircraft track, altitude, and speed. There is also an arrow and magnetic direction indicating which direction to look for the target aircraft. If there is a target aircraft within 3nm of your current position, an audio alert will sound indicating which direction to look for the target. This audio is present on both the iDevice speakers as well as the audio output jack. A countdown "Confidence Meter" is displayed to show how much time has elapsed since the last traffic message receipt for that aircraft. If no messages are received within 60 seconds, the counter will reach zero and the aircraft will be removed from the list. There is a new button on the config. screen that allows either Track UP or North UP. This button will determine the proper "Look Direction" for the traffic display depending on the users preference of viewing their moving map.
