Are any of you using Scott and Wayne's Globe Cd on our iPad? If so, what is procedure? How does it work for you?

Scott have u given any though to making it an "app"? Then it's always resident on the device.....

Looking forward to getting it, just want to be able to use on my iPad too.....
Thanks for any feedback

There are instructions with it to load on a smart phone or tablet. You just copy the pdf book file to your device and read it with the free Adobe Acrobat reader app.

yep... an app would be great, but creating that would probably increase the cost of the item quite a bit. The option of having a PDF to put on any device works well for now

Thanks for replies guys. Seems like a pain to have to load the PDF every time you want to access it? Does it load quickly? Is it cumbersome/time consuming to open and look up a globe in a hurry? If it's being considered - I'd pay triple to have an app:)

i wouldnt call it fast... but not terribly slow. when i open it on my phone (android os) it takes about 60-90 seconds to find my search item. definitely not ideal, but way better than nothing. the regular PC interface is great though. wish i knew you were looking into it, I would have shown you at the coin-op show!
