Amazing support!
I had trouble setting up the apps. Fermin responded promptly to my request for help and patiently walked me through it. It turned out that my Mac was blocking parts of the app. It turned out to be an easy solution. He was very helpful; I’m very happy with the apps!
One of the Big Three
This app, along with FSWidgets QuickPlan and EFB are the “Big Three” for my iPad. I plan using nothing but QuickPlan. If it is a short GA flight, EFB comes out. However, if I have a long flight–Large GA,COMAIR or MILAIR–a “serious” sim flight challenge, iGMapHD is the answer. It combines all the necessary elements - seamlessly takes a QuickPlan flight plan - has all the maps and charts you could want - the weather options are awesome. If you are using real world weather in the sim - you NEED this app. The high definition of the maps are excellent. The satellite map, not only looks great, it allows pure, realistic VFR navigation with enhanced scenery packages. Of course the moving map display is a great feature…and a rock solid feature at that. Nary a dropped link-up but if it does happen, you’ll be resented in seconds. iGMapHD is a workhorse with the speed and finesse of a thoroughbred!

Outstanding, reliable map for flight sims
For FSX, X-Plane and FS2004 this is a fantastic moving map for iPad! With latest NEXRAD and single-click airport info (Freqs, ILS, runways) you can't beat it.
Super simple to set up - just download network utility for PC side and you're ready to fly. It's worth checking the developers page out as there are a ton of equally cool apps for flight planning and following on laptops, you name it, he's got it.

Modern GPS navigation
This is a fantastic and necessary addition to X-Plane. It gives modern GPS navigation capabilities to any X-Plane aircraft. I strongly recommend it.
Indispensable tool for the full flying experience
As an avid X-Plane user, I was excited to come across this application, which, at the very least, eliminates the need for going back and forth between flying and the Local Map—which interrupts the whole flying experience. Seeing where you are "in space" makes flying much easier (especially VFR airport patterns where you can see your relationship to the runways). But so much more beyond that: multiple choices for maps (love the ability to switch easily between Sectionals and Hi and Low IFR charts), overlays, weather, and navigation aids. Zoom in for airport diagrams—great for taxiing. DropBox integration allows easy loading of X-Plane .fms files for plotting flight plans. The only thing on my wish list is pop-up approach plates, but that's asking for the moon.
Best of all—great support. Fast, thorough, thoughtful, and personal responses from the developer.

Good but need current charts
Geo-referencing works well but some charts are woefully out of date (see Phoenix TAC at time of this writing) and it is hard to tell what the current version of a given chart is. Having a magnification size indicator, and a distance ruler would be useful.
Disappointed
Overall a nice app but not a lot of features. I think the price is high for what you get. I hope newer versions add more functionality.
Best App/Phenomenal support
I had connection issues and received outstanding support from Fermin! Multiple trouble shooting suggestions with spot on end result. Can't say enough about the level of support received...learned something as well. The App is a superb and absolute must for a pilot at any level. Fabulous features and excellence student pilot learning Tool! Outstanding job!

Great add with FSX
I know this app is one high cost. I am a instrument student and getting close to taking my check ride. In order to avoid too much flight time i have been using FSX a lot to learn on the ground and this app provide a good benefit by letting you see your track against your flight plan. This provides real world experience reading and working with low level enroute charts and helps integrate their use with navaids so you can actually feel like you are on an IFR flight. I would have given 5 stars if this app also provided approach plates and positional info against the plate while flying the approach. Since simplates are not supported anymore this feature would bring back that capability that Jeppeson abandoned and for the instrument pilot a great learning and teaching tool.

Does the job but too expensive
If weather data gets added and some more graphical interface work and I'd tell all my friends about it
Fun traveling
I am new to Xplane. This app works great. It was a smart idea to allow locating the computer ip address from inside the app. I have tried other apps that didn't have this feature and was unsuccessful in getting my Xplane location to show up on my iPad. If you could addd a distance to airport in miles feature that would be great...

Absolutely Great
I'm really impressed. This is icing on the cake for my FS9 flights. As a B757 captain at Delta Virtual, this App presents an excellent moving map with great resolution and second-by-second updates. It also shows the altitude and groundspeed accurately. What great use to combine my flight sim activities with my iPad 2 I could not be more pleased. The developer is to be applauded. Can you tell I like it?

A Pricey Must-Have App..
For anyone with an iPad who flies FSX... or FS2004 & X-Plane, for that matter... Works exactly as advertised. Totally eliminates the need to pause to switch to the in-sim map. Definitely recommended for those that can afford the rather steep price...
Speaking of $... I've dropped $25 on these two apps (iPad & iPhone)... Surely that's enough to put the screws to the Wizards of Oz so that they'll allow us some Aussie charts...

Love It!!!
This app us the BEST out there!!! Still needs a couple of things but will come VERY soon :)
Fantastic App for use with FSX
This has been the most important "addon" I have used with FSX. It has made my flying so much more enjoyable. I am able to see where I am in the world and and relate that to my flight plan. If I could give it 10 stars I would. The times that I have contact Tech Support, Fermin Fernandez, he has responded with the answer usually within an hour or two. He is also very receiptive to any ideas that you have for improving the product. If you fly FSX buy it!! It is great to have a moving map showing your location with no frame rate hits. Fantastic!

Just What I Needed
I've been waiting for this one since FSX was introduced. It worked "out of the box", with FSX Gold Edition and Windows 7, on my iPad. The tracking is smooth and my frame rate in FSX seemed unaffected. I'm a student pilot in his last phase of training and haven't spent a lot of time with FSX over the past few months, but this is certainly getting me back into the sim!

Great app for the Simmer
Terrific product from the land down under for the flight simmer! Works great with MS Flight Simulator X (FSX) or X-Plane. Moving map shows your geographical position in the real world. Choose from FAA sectionals and other free FAA aeronautical maps and watch your progress and positioning on the maps. Also includes a detailed terrain map. It's great to be untethered from the desktop with the mobility of the iPad app. Pull in a flight plan, set the autopilot, take off, and leave the room with you mobile iPad in hand to watch you flight's progress from another room if you wish. And you get outstanding compassionate support from the developer should you have networking problems. Worth every penny!
