I have be testing Litchi on both an iOS device and an Android. So far I have noticed some differences. For example each handles free hand waypoint missions differently. With the Android version I can select the spacing beween waypoints. Depending on the spacing Litchi will determine the number of waypoints. However, the iOS version does not allow spacing and you only get two waypoints, one at the start and one at the finish. Also, Litchi Vue works on the iOS device, but is not supported for Android devices.

Can anyone point me to a comparison of the functionality between the iOS and Android versions? I like the functionality of Litchi, but don't want to have two different tablets to get everything I need.

Thanks,

Keith
