A good idea, or an option to "Skip to" as said in your last line .

Sorry for delay in response, have been away.

Tim your idea sounds workable and would be a good step in the right direction.

The only concern I have is having to mess with menus whilst in flight. These small screens and small menus can be difficult to hit accurately with finger in a moving aircraft. That's why I favored a simple +/- step button somewhere on screen.

However I accept that your solution will be an improvement on present situation and is probably easier to implement than my ideal solution.

thanks for interest, and best regards

I too like the "skip to" idea - I think this is almost identical to the original idea of the "+" button. I think the "-" button was an enhancement to allow you to "skip back" as well.



Cheers,

I think it would be brilliant to click and hold on a way point in your plan on the map and get offered "skip to". I think that addresses the initial point and is a great improvement in any case.

It has my vote

Did anything ever come of this?

You can also bring up the PilotLog and select any waypoint to go direct to.

I share Tim's opinion: too many options, buttons and shortcuts just confuse the user interface for the majority of users. There'll always be ways to do one thing more efficiently at the expense of cluttering the interface and confusing other users. Tim has to maintain an overall balance. A job, by the way, which I think he does admirably.
