Importing via AirDrop from a nearby Apple computer is fast and convenient, especially if a Wi-Fi network is not available. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi must be enabled on both devices for AirDrop to work. Supported file types for importation via AirDrop are:
- .kml
- .kmz
- .mbtiles
NOTE: Airdrop does not support importing .csv files.
To import files via AirDrop:
- From a MacBook, find the file to share in Finder.
- Right-click on the file and select Share...
- Select AirDrop.
- Select the device to share to.
- On the iPad or iPhone, when the file is presented, select Send to and then ForeFlight.
- Within ForeFlight, from the popover, select Custom Content.
- Choose the type of custom content being imported (i.e., Custom Map Layers or User Waypoints). The file will be added to the appropriate list in More > Custom Content.
