I'm using the software to navigate with a helicopter and we like to have large sets of waypoints for landings spots. The points' names are often not very meaningful, because they reflect a projects' naming scheme. Most pilots still use Garmin devices and these support little icons for waypoints that give a great one-glance impression on a map view.
It would be awesome if FlyisFun copied the Garmin waypoint icons, so that waypoints importet from Garmin show same or similar icons.
Of course we use only a few of the symbols and redesignate them for our use, but I think having a standard -even if not well suited - makes things easier.
As an example on a large forest fire, there may be landing pads to drop of personnel and gear, which get the heliport symbol. Their name is something like 068-12A. A landing spot for fuel gets the gas station symbol. And a water source gets the fish symbol. Radiotowers are always good to see on the map, especially if NOT navigating to them. In crappy weather they stick out for awareness on the map.
All I ever used are 7, 8, 10, 14, 18, 151, 156, 161, 173, 174, 8198, 8199, 8200, 8220, 8233, 16384, 16388, 16390, 163961, 16392.
Aside from that I wish that FlyisFun would record an ACTIVELOG like all Garmins, configurable by distance (not time) to record a point every 200m or so and just fill up a track. And show this track on the map (I haven't figured the Logbook quite yet, but it never shows previous flights. And a time-intervall is not good for a helicopter, which can sit in a spot for minutes).
Also I still haven't figured out the HSI-dots. How much XTK distance is one dot? Or is it an angle? I'd really need XTK distance, configurable to 5m or 50m or 500m per dot.
Awesome usable software otherwise. Many thanks to the developer! I'm impressed how much thought went into all the little options and speedy usability in the cockpit!
