Are you considering porting MountainScope to iPhone 4, using the internal gyro/GPS?

Yes, but many questions need answering before embarking on such an ambitious task: — we need to verify that the sensitivity is suitable for aircraft use (as opposed to just using it as a game controller) — we need to verify that it could be used in appropriate orientations — to be useful, it would have to have a fixed orientation relative to the aircraft axes (this might make it unsuitable for some users who would want to put it on the yoke) — we must verify that vibrations do not cause spurious readings There are over 160,000 lines of source code that make up MountainScope… we must be sure that a port will work as desired, and that there is a market to warrant the effort.
