It's still not something that is requested very often.

What would happen to the notes when the user changed the route by making it longer or shorter before the note?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 51, Visits: 225	Tim- you had asked for thoughts on how this might work and I've been considering along with the issues you had highlighted. How about: 1) ability to create a comment in route via touching/'what's here/create route comment. I'm thinking along the lines of how you would create a waypoint but the difference being the comment would be attached to the route at that location rather than the map. 2) when flying, the presence of a comment would show up with a symbol and touching/'what's here would allow viewing Hopefully, this would take away the questions you had about proximity etc? Thanks for consideration

How close to your point do you need to get? Then how far away, before the trigger is reset and you can activate it again? Should the alert persist on screen as long as you're in proximity? When should it go away? What if you don't notice it because you're flying, and then when you look down at the screen it has disappeared because you passed it? Hi Tim, Regarding the range I would suggest to handle it in similar way as you already do with obstruction/airspace warnings or if feasible simply let the user define a trigger radius (in miles or time to approach) around the waypoint. The pop up should just stay open until dismissed/acknowledged by the user. That way the user can't miss it. Regarding the trigger reset I would suggest to suppress further pop up for the same waypoint until the user is outside the trigger radius for longer than a certain time (e.g. 3 min). In this way, different types of aircraft with their different speeds would be automatically taken into account. Did I miss something? Regards, Andreas Agree entirely- proximity per airspace, appear once, stay until cancelled.
