My experience with Foreflight is that it does not connect with it. There are two sources of power on this radio an The Aero app uses Bluetooth to communicate with the aircraft. They have an app where you can plan your own routes, but the app has no connectivity to anything, not even Google Maps This is a great radio, but it is an independent Even though your iPad and headset do not have Bluetooth capabilities, they will work if they come with it. The radio has to be turned on to use Bluetooth, but it is nice to have a backup option without fumbling for cords.

The GPS does not work, but it is still a good device nonetheless. I don't have much experience using the navigation system.
Selected User Reviews For Icom IC-A25N VHF Airband Transceiver (NAV & COM channels)
As soon as I have the chance to try out this product, I will update you. But until then, I hope that the carrier will take note. The Warehouse sticker you put over the UPC on the box prevents me from registering the device in case of a warranty need since I tried to remove the sticker behind it to take off yours, and it peeled up behind you. It is a bit bothersome.
Once you take it out of the box and play with it, you will find it to be a wonderful radio. When you are fully distracted by an emergency situation and your radio keeps going off frequency, you won't realize that it is off frequency, but in less than ideal conditions when its dark and turbulent and you are fully engaged with the emergency, you will no longer be able to detect If you inadvertently brush against the top center coaxial knob, the frequency changes in tiny increments that are irrelevant, but enough to throw you off if you brush against For active use in an active pocket or pouch, this is not a good option. When you pull it out of your pocket, you will not be on the desired frequency. If you have it sitting on your desk, I'm sure this works fine however, you still have to turn the knob a number of times before a standard frequency shows up. In a GPS graphic navigator, the graphic display does not convey useful information with graphics. It has been about a year since I returned it for the Yaesu 750L, which is a rock solid and old school piece of equipment. During my time in the Coast Guard, I carried my handheld Icom marine band in my leg pocket for years. I loved that little radio, but it is disappointing to own the new A25N.
It seems to be a great radio, and I'll update the review once I've had more time to use it. Despite the lack of iOS Bluetooth functionality, this app is still lacking in one major aspect. Using this method was a major selling feature of the radio as it was the simplest way to program gps waypoints.
My opinion after doing a lot of research is that this is the best available. This handheld has all the features you could possibly need (aside from instrument landing). It has more power, a better display, intuitive buttons, clear audio, an easy charging cradle, and everything else. The same product would be my first choice Without a doubt.
It has a good feel and operation when I can get used to it, but it still suffers from poor front end rejection like my previous Icom airband portables, making it susceptible As I have used other airband radios from Vertex and other manufacturers such as Icom, I have not been able to experience the issue Icom has!.
As a back-up radio when as a paramotoring, I use this to listen to air traffic and to get some VOR navigational information.
There is no response from the radio. There is only static and I can't mute the noise. This is for a radio that costs I don't think it's worth 00 dollars. You will be getting a refund when you return the unit.
