Map tap for waypoint info

Postby Angelo » 14 Dec 2013, 16:47

Hi,

It would be nice to be able to tap on a waypoint on a map and to get a little info box with name, frequency (if available) and a direct to button. A bit similar to the airspace info feature. Now selecting a direct to requires several taps.

Thanks!

In this box, it would be nice to also have:
1) Track to WPT
2) distance/estimated flying time at present speed
3) ETA UTC at present speed
4) if APT, runway length
5) Fuel comsumption (tricky item? forget it ! )

cheers

Fuel consumption is not tricky :-)
If you create aircraft (logbook) and set it as default...

In case of navaids I will add its frequency.

Hi Petr

After having left you alone so that you could cherish the Xmas moments with your beloved ones, lets get back to business! :mrgreen:

First the easy part:
1) could not see Fuel Consumption to nav item. ETE and ETA are ok. (default acft fully configured)
2) 5 seconds is too little time to read all info diplayed, I think. Maybe a "Custom Display Time" configured at Menu/App Settings/Preferences/Screen settings/Highlighting? Something like 5 ,10, 30 seconds or some time interval proportional to message's lenght (too much fancy?) ?
3) when nav item is a RWY (maybe ILS too. did not check), runway length is not shown.

Now the tricky ones:
1) Can a long tap over the information box be implemented to perform a "Direct to" navigation? Any better idea to do so?
2) if a "Custom Display Time" is possible, a "0 seconds - tap to close" option is also possible?

All these where investigated using Simulator. No real flight performed. Yet.

cheers
