recently when I've been flying I've noticed that georeferenced charts keep appearing, e.g. visual approach charts from french AIP, CICZ etc, and even if I close them with the red x, they keep coming back! now I do like those charts, but not all the time. is there a setting somewhere to turn this off by default?  thank you.

Why do you keep having to close it? What's it obscuring that you need?


Regarding your other two points, 1. aeroplanes don't have "deviation" as far as I'm aware, please could you be more specific and 2. if you move the map while flying it will return to your position after 15 seconds. There's only a button (the arrow) to bring it back if you scroll so you're offscreen, but just leave it for 15 seconds in either case and it'll go back.

Regarding the map, it’s basically just annoying having halve the screen showing the georeferenced map and the other showing the normal map when I’m not inbound to land. I don’t know,”black and white” mixed with the bright colours of the normal map is not something I personally want. And I feel I get a much better situational awareness without the georeferenced map most places since it has better details, so that makes me keep having to close it again and again as it comes back. But at the same time it would be nice to have it downloaded so that I can check it before arrival and sometimes at high altitudes I don’t have any service to download it. That’s my main problem with it. It should be able to download and turned to off unless I ask for it.

And yes I know about the 15 seconds. Flying a fast airplane sometimes 15 seconds is sometimes a long time to wait, so I was hoping there was just a click for me to center the screen. No big problem just saying I would have liked to have it.

Deviation is a error caused by influences of the airplane where it is installed. This can be caused by many things such as ferrous materials, wiring with running currents.


To be more specific, Compass deviation.Deviation is written on a little chart located close to the compass in each airplane and says something like on heading 090 deviation +-3 of stear 093. This we put into the navigational plan.

I know this is GPS navigation but would have been nice to have the option so that it’s possible to generate a 100% operational flight plan that can be printed and for use in offline mode when the gps stops working for example
