How close does it have to be zoomed in? Should it display on TAC or just sectional (using Stratux) All I see is arrows and a the + or - Altitude. Has to be a setting somewhere. Friend has stratux and using iFLy on Android Tablet and he see N#'s. Says he didn't remember setting anything up special.

I've looked under Menu / Setup / Edit Aircraft. At the bottom of the screen is "Surveillance" with quite a few things to choose, then a subset pops up with "Select ADSB Capabilities"

Did I take a wrong turn somewhere?

Re: ICAO ID Displayed

Bill, if you tap on a traffic triangle, a quickview window will pop up with the registration and other data.

To get the registration to display on the regular map, along with the altitude, you have to be zoomed in pretty far. Playing an ADSB recording back just now on a Windows laptop in landscape mode, the sectional map was zoomed to about 10 miles across. I think it's a lot tighter on my iPhone in portrait mode--maybe a couple of miles across--but I can't play a recording on it right now to tell for sure.

I think the 740 in portrait mode has to be zoomed in to about 4 miles across before the N-number shows up. From there I can zoom out 2 steps and still see it. At 3 steps out the N-number disappears.

I almost never fly with the 740 zoomed in that far--so I'd really an option to choose the display range.
