Compass Rose
: This button will add or remove the compass rose from the screen.
Show the Arc
: This will draw an arc to connect the “tick” marks of the compass rose.
If unchecked, the tick marks for 10 degree increments are drawn but the arc is not
shown.
Save Current Map Range with View
: Selecting this option will save the zoom
level/range that the map is being viewed at when the Save Changes to Current View is
activated. Returning to a previously saved view with this option utilized will recall not
only the selected display options, but also the zoom/range at which it was saved.
:
This tab allows you to control how waypoints are used in the creation of flight plans
and also during the flight.
Auto Start FP at Nearby Airport
: If this
box is unchecked, when you select an
airport and tap FLY TO, you will be asked
“Start at airport?” the current position is
within approximately 3 miles of an airport.
If you tap NO here, the flight plan will
originate at the current GPS position on the
map. If you tap YES here, the flight plan
starting point will be at the “reference
point” of the nearby airport.
If checked it will be assumed that your
answer is always YES to this question.
Show Corridors
: In a flight plan,
waypoints designate course changes as you
progress. Changing course as each
waypoint is reached is usually done after
you cross the waypoint (navaid, fix, etc.), which also usually results in your being off
course for the next leg and having to return to the line as you start down the next leg.
Show Next Waypoint as Destination
: Displays the next waypoint in a flight plan at
top center of the screen. The waypoint can be an airport, fix, navaid or user waypoint. If
unchecked the final waypoint of the flight plan is shown at the top of the screen.
Many pilots want to smooth the corner so they turn before reaching the waypoint,
thereby making a nice transition from one leg to the next. However, in doing so they
actually do not fly directly over the waypoint. Therefore Anywhere Map needs to know
whether you just missed it (and you intend to return to it) or if you intend for the next
leg to become active. The corridors have been created to allow "corner cutting" so that
you can smooth the corners in your flight and still have the flight plan logic follow your
progress.
The corridors are depicted as gray or red lines (red if the waypoint is set as a holding
waypoint) that bisect the angle made by the legs that are inbound and outbound from
the waypoint. The length of the line is based on the distance between waypoints and the
