I'm seeing a couple of odd things that are probably just due to my tablets "maturity", but I thought I'd double check. At closer zoom levels, the courseline turns into a single pixel wide line, as if touch-holding ones finger on the screen, but only seems to do this on approach plate overlays. The other thing is that the waypoint names along a route seem to show up at intermediate zoom levels only. Zoom in too close or out too far and they vanish. Are these behaviors normal? Will they go away if/when I get a newer tablet?

Thanks,

Jim

Ah. I was afraid of that. Over a year ago I expressed in the wish list that the course line be made translucent. The press and hold to feature to make the line momentarily thin was a decent alternative, but I'm really not crazy about the always thin line. Hard to see. Time for another suggestion, which would be...

1. Translucent, 2. option to NOT go thin automatically, 3. invert present function and when always thin have a touch hold make it go momentarily wide. And I'd like to have waypoint labels all the time. Again maybe a user option.

Maybe once you're past the FAF, the course line could go thin or disappear automatically? You don't need to see it once you're on the approach 'cause you know what your course is. And as Jeff points out, the normal couse line often obliterates critical data on the Plate.While I really like geo-ref Plates, I find myself tapping the Plate a lot on an ILS to read the Plate. Not something I should be doing on an ILS.
