You're right. Don't know what happened to it.

Re: How to show ADS-B towers

The option to "Show ADS-B Towers" is only available when you're connected to an ADS-B device.

Re: How to show ADS-B towers

My question is now cleared up. I make a long XC flight yesterday and saw an ADSB tower showing on the screen (blue tower with words describing it as an ADSB tower). I then looked at MAP MODE ==>NEXRAD and saw an option to show ADSB towers. Apparently, the software only shows the option to "show ADSB towers" when it is actually receiving ADSB signals.

My question was answered by one of the staff when they returned from OSH.

I haven't tried it yet, but I don't think I would have looked at NEXRAD to turn on the tower presentation. I would have thought it woul be listed with the obstacles option. Seems like the proper place since they are obtacles loke any other tower.
