Why are Mac users out in the cold??

[rodrv6]

Are there any plans for the Dynon software upgrades to be loaded using a Mac computer? With more and more people abandoning the PC and going to Apple products, it would seem to make sense to offer Mac compatible support. I personally have a MacBook Air for my laptop and I have no desire to purchase a copy of Windows to load onto it for very occasional use.
Thanks.

SkyView has always bee upgradeable by a Mac since it first shipped in 2009.

All you do to upgrade it is download a file using a web browser onto a USB drive. It doesn't care if you used a Mac, Windows, Linux, or Android to download it. You can't use an iOS device because they refuse to let you save data to a USB device.

The only data that can be an issue is if you use a third party data provider like Jeppesen or Seattle Avionics. They distribute files in a way that can be more difficult with a Mac, but not impossible. Not much we can do about that since we don't run those companies and don't have rights to distribute the data.

I guess I should have given more info. I have a D100 in my RV6. No Skyview. Per your website, the upgrade program for the D100 is only Windows compatible.........

Statistically speaking, that's not true - while data is inaccurate, the share for new Windows products is growning at least as fast as any other OS product's market share, which are still vastly outnumbered overall.  Just saying.  :-X

Goes both ways. I'm a little ticked that Foreflight is Apple only - but that's just me. :-/
