Yeah we ferried my newly acquired 172 from Melb to Perth using oz runways on my ipad with 3g, never missed a beat all the way.
Paper maps were in the flight bag but never opened or removed from the bag. Except one WAC was used to plug a freaking sub zero jet blast from a leaky co pilots door seal, best 11 dollars ever spent ;) Ben West Oz From: aus-soaring-boun...@lists.internode.on.net [mailto:aus-soaring-boun...@lists.internode.on.net] On Behalf Of Mike Borgelt Sent: Saturday, 20 December 2014 4:50 PM To: Discussion of issues relating to Soaring in Australia. Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] OzRunways/Avplan Yes. If you search for the names of the apps you'll see the deals. They are good deals, updating data is on line, all the charts are available for all of Australia, flight planning is easy as is filing.Much better SA while airborne as you can get updated weather, Notams etc as well as weather radar. We carry 2 iPad minis in the BD-4 running the programs so have backup. Had Telstra mobile data coverage all the way to Perth including the Caiguna to Esperance leg which doesn't actually follow a highway.

OzRunways DOES do this too, check your settings. Agree about the licensing though. ForeFlight (US equivalent) allows multiple iPads access at no surcharge; great for redundancy.
