Hi guys,

The next beta version of EasyVFR 4 will come with a new feature called Map Presets.

Many aviators use their air navigation app's in different use cases wherein the information they want to see on the map varies. Therefore, in EasyVFR 4 you not only have a single map where you do all the Flight Planning and Navigation on.

You now have the ability to benefit from three Map Presets for your most common use cases and easily "swap" between them.

By default, you have a Navigation Map, a NOTAMs Map, and a Weather Map. You can swap between the presets by simply swiping over the buttons bar below on the screen. You can also select a preset via the Map Layer menu.

In order to make these presets fit perfectly for your three most common use cases. In the Map Layer menu, you can enable and disable per Map Preset any Map Layer as you prefer.

In order to make the selected layers stand out even better; the NOTAMs Map and the Weather Map have an extra trick in their sleeve. Contrary to the Navigation Map, which is in full color, they use for the base map a chromatic-color-scheme.

We love to hear your suggestions and how you would use these new map presets.

What do you think about this new feature? Do you like it?

 

Cheers,
Tim

Just found out that the swiping gesture does not work on iPad pro 12" because the screencapture runs out of memory. It could be this happens with other extremely high resolution devices also. Please use the maplayer>MapPresets option in these cases instead. We will fix this sliding gesture in the next release.

Hi Tim

I like this new map preset feature.

I think there are too few symbols on the weather layer, and we had a better view of the global weather situation on EV3. See the screenshots below for the same time situation:

Hi Alain,

In the latest version, we have improved this. If you find the Cloud symbols to big or to small you can resize them at EasyVFR 4 menu -> System -> Readability. 

Does this work for you?

 

Cheers,
Tim
