Terrain Instruments With Topographical Map?

[Bob Denny]

I fly as a police helicopter Tactical Flight Officer (co-pilot) here in Arizona, USA. One of the things we TFOs do is provide street-level and rural trail/road navigation for the pilot. I already make heavy use of the Locus Pro map application (another great app from CZ!!). I would also like to use FlyIsFun. It could provide nav display for the pilot that would be very easy for him to quickly interpret. I have a large collection of RMap SQLite format street, satellite, high-detail topo, and aviation sectional/TAC maps for Locus.

In the helicopter, the terrain map is useless as we regularly fly at 500 feet AGL, sometimes lower. I really like the instrument display of FlyIsFun in terrain mode, the pilots will be able to quickly interpret the HSI and tapes. We often use Night Vision Goggles and have to look at instruments by peeking below the goggles. With the tablet on my kneepad, FlyIsFun's terrain layout with the full HSI would be perfect.

So my request: Please allow the .sqlitedb maps to be used with the terrain layout instruments. This would allow me to use my RMap SQlite maps with the "full HSI" instrumentation. The "partial-compass and box" instruments now on the topographical display would not help the pilot much at all.

Please? I will spend more money

Hi Bob,
I did not forget. I am just thinking . I am fighting with devices CPU speed. Terrain map needs every second more than 100000 values comparing, etc. etc.. When displaying topomap, application have to choose from thousands objects which to display. Displaying both, I do not know now.
Maybe new screen - looking like terrain, but with map. Or display speed and altitude strips to the map screen as an option.

Ohhhhhh I can see that. Thanks for looking.

Re-reading, I may have confused you. I mean to project the INSTRUMENTS that appear on the Terrain map. Here is a very crude approximation of what I mean:

I will think about it...

Thank you.
