What's new in V6.6

Internet status annunciations (Internet unavailable/restored) are now optional.

This feature added in V6.4 might be a good idea if you rely on the internet for monitoring and alerting but isn't necessary if you are using an ADS-B receiver. According to some pilots it's also a bit annoying.

As suggested, a switch has been added to the settings view to control whether internet status changes are announced or not.

Please note that the default for this setting is off.

Recognition of slower aircraft when detecting landing and takeoff. When you select ULAC (ultralight aircraft) as your type code, the speeds and heights used for this purpose are halved.
