Hello,
I'm using SD V 3.9.5.18619 Android.
Is it possible to extend the line of the flightpath vector on the map or virtual radar to times ahead of 30 and 60 minutes?
I need this feature (optional) for position reports - request by ATC in the middle of nowhere (open water).
Kind regards
Siegfried

Hi,
in the latest version, "what's here" shows distance, time and course to any point on the map.

+xHi,in the latest version, "what's here" shows distance, time and course to any point on the map. G. Ok, but that's not what I'm asking for. I need a position in 30 / 60 minutes from my present position at the actual SOG and COG. Siegfried

Not currently possible I'm afraid, but I'm sure another feature will do what you need. What are SOG and COG in this context?

Actually, I can't think of one, sorry. There is no feature which will directly give you your approximate position in 30 or 60 minutes that I can think of, although you could play with the map ruler to get an answer within a few seconds.

Thank you for the hint. On ground no problem, I'll try it in bumpy air... But back to the question please: "Is it possible to extend the line of the flightpath vector on the map or virtual radar to times ahead of 30 and 60 minutes?" Is it a great fact to add an additional feature??

I'm not aware of this being a widespread customer request, so I'm afraid it's unlikely. Anyone else wanting this feature will presumably comment here, which would be helpful.

"Next Position Report in 60 minutes at <Position>" or "... at <radial>, <xx> nm from <WPT>"?

Coordinates are expected, for example -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqueNkjPjEAbut without an autopilot in an small cockpit, max altitude 5.000ft, handling with large charts and ruler is a bit tricky so a one-click-solution would be very helpful (f.e. a tap on the end of a 30/60-minute long flight path vector)
