The Aerial Map layer in ForeFlight Mobile is not downloadable for offline use in flight. The map layer requires an internet connection to load. However, to get around this limitation, previewing the Aerial Map while connected to the Internet temporarily saves the Aerial Map in temporary storage (cache), allowing the layer to be used in flight (unless memory is needed for other operations). To do this, do the following:
- Open ForeFlight Mobile while connected to the Internet right before the flight.
- Select Maps.
- Select Aerial Map from the layer selector in the upper left.
- Move the map to preview the area that will be needed in flight. Be sure to zoom in and out to load imagery at various zoom levels.
