More "interlinking"?

More "interlinking"?

I think I've heard rumors of user interface improvements under development, so maybe this is already in the works, but in the plane today I pulled up METAR weather at my destination airport. Got the wx info, but wanted to listen to the actual ATIS too. Wished I could just click on the airport name in the METAR list and get the option to pull up the airport information page so I could get the ATIS freq, but instead I had to go back to the map, hold my finger down on the airport, and get to the airport info page that way.

Would be nice it it were quick and easy to jump between related info pages easier...

Cobra,

Yes, we were just discussing this the other day. Having the Common Freqs, like CTAF, CT, ATIS, AWOS, ect, is something we are looking to include in a quick window if you touch an airport.

I like your idea of making it accessible form the Weather Page. Like touching the Aiport Name. There also might be a place in the header to include this. I'll explore and pass it along. Thanks for the great feedback.

Re: More "interlinking"?

Exactly, Shane--thanks. I don't necessarily want to specify the implementation, but in general, think about related information and how to quickly jump between them. Anywhere an airport name appears, make the name a link to jump to the airport info page. Etc.

I think you guys do a pretty good job of this already, but if I get some time I may try just bouncing around in the interface and looking for opportunities to improve linkages between related information.

Re: More "interlinking"?

We are definitely looking into this four out next major update. We've rebuilt our databases and this will allow us to better make sure of those Frequencies, Runways lengths, Etc. I think you'll like what we are working on, but as always your comments and suggestions are very welcome and appreciated. Have a great week.

Re: More "interlinking"?

This is probably in the plan for the frequencies but if not, it would be nice to know what are the ATC frequencies for your exact location. I know that in some areas there are more than one ATC frequency so that may be a little difficult. But it is nice to be able to get a hold af ATC right now if there is trouble.
