The moving map supports:

    • Free ground maps
    • ICAO charts
    • Public domain maps
    • Geo-referenced approach charts
  • METAR/TAF Stations

You can interact with most of the items on the moving map doing a click on each. As a consequence, a pop-up window will show on the screen with details about the item.
