[QUOTE="stiff neck, post: 235887, member: 13175"] I don't know of any programs to download onto the Iphone, but JBM works just fine on it. Create an icon link (application link) to your front page so you're there in one touch from the front screen. If you're in an area without coverage, simply use backup screen shot images from JBM. From your home, enter your ballistic info and press calculate. Now take a screen shot of the drop chart to save for future reference. Like this: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/benclawson/f208bcd1.jpg[/IMG] To take a screen shot, press the home button and the power button at the same time. The screen shot is saved onto your camera roll. On the saved image, you can zoom in a little bit but the detail isn't good if your initial picture has really small writing. It's better to go back to the program and zoom in for more detailed screen shots like this: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/benclawson/7a403d18.jpg[/IMG] It saves the picture on your camera roll but you can organize your drop chart images into a seperate dedicated folder(s) using iTunes.
