4-Letter-ICAO-identifierrs for airfields on map in Windows Version

Group: Forum Members Posts: 18, Visits: 14	Hello everyone, can anyone tell me, how I get the ICAO-identifiers of airfields/ports shown on map in the Windows-Version? I know, how this works on iPhone and iPad via the "Map Settings Button" in the lower right corner in the Airfields-Section. But I have not found something similar in the Windows desktop version. As I often use this version for planning long routes at home (and sometimes print the charts for backup there), it would be really helpful to toggle between the representations (identifier, name or both) on screen and in the printed charts. My current workaround is to plan on desktop, open on iPhone for creating the briefing pack (with Identifiers switched on) and then copy the generated PDF back to my desktop for printing or further use. That's a little bit laborious ... Regards, Peter

However, you can still search for airfields using the ICAO identifiers. Just remember to enter them in the search dialogue in upper case. Furthermore, as I'm sure you already know, if you hover your mouse pointer over an airfield, the resulting pop-up includes the ICAO identifier. I hope this might help.

Kind regards Hi Mike, thanks for your answer. Both you mentioned I already knew and does not solve my problem. It's not because of searching airfields, it's because of having the identifiers later on in the printed charts. I want to have them there, if I i.e. have to report my position to ATC (sometimes, it's easier to use the 4 letters than "unspeakable" clear names in foreign countries ;-) Kind regards, Peter
