Zoom to full screen IAP Chart/Plate

I'm using iFly GPS on a Samsung Tab A during my IFR training, which will soon be completed with my rating. I primarly use the my yoke mounted tablet to bring up IAP charts, and navigate using my panel mounted GPS (certified). It would be nice to have a double touch zoom to fill screen function for the given/displayed IAP chart.

Re: Zoom to full screen IAP Chart/Plate

I think that's a good idea, or at least something like it. When an approach plate is displayed, maybe give it a "double-headed diagonal arrow in a box" icon in the upper right corner that you could touch to have the plate recenter and zoom to fill the screen. (Double-tap is a good option, too, but may not be intuitive. It would be more like a hidden feature.)

Re: Zoom to full screen IAP Chart/Plate

Might be nice but if I typically just zoom to what I need to see if I'm using plate-over-map. If I want the full screen chart tapping Plates | Full Screen Mode works fine.
