The background map (moving map)

The background map is also known as the “moving map” and it will be our “place of work” for when flight-planning.

The moving map supports:

Waypoints
Airspaces
Maps of diferent sources:
- Free ground maps
- ICAO charts
- Public domain maps
- Geo-referenced approach charts
METAR/TAF Stations
NOTAM info
Obstacles

Note that the map background comes with no map installed. You should download a map or maps from the Map Store module.

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.

You can move along the moving map by panning the screen to a desired direction and a route can be created selecting the waypoints and adding them to the route list. There’s a dedicated chapter later in this manual.

The map options and filters will be accessible from the Map TAB

located on the right side of the screen.

For more details on how to use these filters, refer to the section «Map TAB» later in this chapter.
