Hardly. When flying VFR you don't follow tracers like that. I fixed it, just removed program and downloaded sectionals and realviews only. Those tracers should not be on a TAC either which is the whole purpose of IFR charts.
Thanks all for the input.
I'm surprised that got rid of them, since TAC's (Terminal Area Charts) are VFR charts. The logic is that as you zoom in you'll want more detail, thus the switch from Sectional to TAC when a TAC is available. TAC's are VFR charts around busy areas - Colorado has two TAC's: Denver and Colorado Springs. Sectional charts have a big white box around areas that have TAC's, thus the white boxes around Denver and Colorado Springs. The jet routes are depicted so VFR pilots will know where to expect and hopefully avoid the big birds. A lot of the depicted jet routes will also tell you at what altitudes you can expect them, as shown in the attached screenshot. By clicking on the "3 pages" icon in the lower left f the screen, you can click on the Sectional chart and iFly will stay on the Sectional as you zoom in instead of zooming on into the more detailed TAC.
