It would be great if the present position was marked more conspicuously. Perhaps a flashing red dot.

Also I find that the place names are hard to read (prob cos I am 50 and the near sight is getting dodgy). Would it be possible to make them a font size larger as many pilots are of a similar age or older.



thanks

It's interesting that you should say that, given that our chart design is so similar to the UK CAA chart design, in terms of pens and colours used. In this week's release we've changed airfield names to be slightly larger, bold and in uppercase, and we'll see how everyone likes the change.

To be honest, in that photograph, the town names look like they're pretty much identically sized between the two.

You'll have to take my word for it that the place names on the chart are bigger than on the display! As I said however, I think the differentiation between place names and airfield names will help a lot, so I look forward to the next release.

Tried Inflight in flight on my Loox N560 for the first time yesterday. It all worked extremely well, hardware and software. Visibility and usability on Loox N560 was good - enhancements in 0.9.9 much appreciated! After 70 minutes use the battery was down to 75%, even with the display permanently on full brightness, which is excellent.



I'll need more time with it to be able to give more useful feedback - at the moment it seems to do most things I'd want to do.



Two small points though:



1. I thought there was supposed to be a 'take me too...' short cut. In other words if I want to forget the existing route and just go straight home. I can't see a way to do that other than planning a new route.



2. As mentioned in another thread, it would be useful to add local places/landmarks such that they are permanently displayed.



Other than that, excellent!

I think there are 2 things - the size of the plane / cursor showing the position and the text size.



For the first this would be really useful for this to be bigger / more obvious as it is difficult to see unless the PDA is very close (and one wouldn't want to mount it too close)



For the second - I can see the problem with large text taking up too much of the screen, so not so concerned - but maybe a saga / geri... version might be the answer! (and I'll subscribe in that case)
