ADS-B weather display

I guess I thought the weather would display on any of the screens, but apparently that is not the case.

It would be helpful to be able to see the weather on whichever screen you are using.

If nothing else, it would help for the screen to return back to the screen you were using prior to viewing weather display.

Re: ADS-B weather display

Good point. I wonder it it would be worth putting a button on the screen for WX if an ADSB receiver is detected. Ultimately that would be up to Walter. I could see an optional WX / Chart toggle button to quickly bounce between the two. Just a thought, I'll note this concept on the wish list. In the end, being able to "Show" NEXRAD over chart modes would be optimal.

And it would be REALLY nice if the WX /Chart toggle button could remember the previous zoom level of the respective screens. I usually view the weather screen zoomed out a good bit more than the sectional and WAC screens; lots of zoom, zoom required when going back and forth.

Re: ADS-B weather display

Agree. If we did this, we'd most likely toggle between the WX and the previous chart mode aw we do on some other things. Likewise, it would be nice to key off that previous chart modes zoom level as well as a past WX zoom level. That way it would eliminate the tapping of the zoom multiple times. Again, this is all ultimately up to Walter and the programming team, but I'll put my 2.5 cents in on it. Thanks again for the great info and dialog.
