Navigation Functions

Important information about all airfields, such as frequency and runway info, can be retrieved directly either by using the airfield code or the name of the airfield.

More airfields can be added to the system manually.

The system automatically calculates a basic route to your desired destination and displays the route on the map.

Track, Bearing

Track, Bearing.gif The arrow on the map shows the direction in which you have to fly in order to reach your destination. A second bar shows how far off track you are.

If you prefer a classical Track and Bearing display, you can switch to it at any time.

The system displays your distance to the destination and to the next route point. It will also give an ETA to both waypoints and destination.

Nearest Airfield

When you touch the “Nearest Airfield” button a list of nearest airfields, arranged according to distance, appears.

Select your desired airfield, and the system immediately cancels your current route and directs you to the selected airfield.

Route Planning

You can plan your complete flight with Flymap directly onto the PDA. The system will generate a line between your chosen start and destination and then you can insert waypoints and alter the route to avoid controlled and prohibited airspace depending on your preferences.

Speed Vector and Flight Information

In front of the aircraft, a speed vector line shows where the aircraft will be in ten minutes.

Pocket Flymap also displays other useful flight information such as Distance/Time to destination, airspeed, height and altitude.

Choice of Maps

Pocket Flymap can incorporate almost any map within reason so that you can always fly with a map that is familiar to you.
