The app looks impressive from review videos and I'm just wondering about the map screen and how it handles no data connection?

I find myself flying reguarly in areas without any data connection or service at all. What mapping service does the app use?

Will it be possible to pre-load and store map tiles for use when out of service area?

You can cache the maps while connected to wifi for use later in the field.

Ed, I can't remember whether you said this feature is only for the Apple map app on iOS, or whether Google maps can also be used. I would assume for Android devices that would mean Google maps, but I'm not sure about iOS devices.

I think that it was previously posted that Android is Google maps and iOS is Apple maps.
