I am based at KTMB :)

Used to teach in the mid 80s and it was a great airport. Still a nice place but sort of dead compared to the old days. They are evicting small planes from the hangars (FBOs want "big" planes only). After 30 years there I am moving out :(

Sorry for the non iFly chat.

Yes, this is something else I've been discussing with Walter. We are looking at possibly of making all these "layers" that you can enable and disable, essentially building your own chart with what you need the most. I think you all will agree, the iFly software has historically offered a higher level of customization, and we do not intend to let up.

It is on the wishlist and we are looking into it. It's a personal favorite for me as I live and fly in DFW too and use ADS-B for Weather and Traffic all the time. I'd like us to make our Vector Map very inclusive with options, along the track of Jepp, only our own. This is an area that our competition spends little time on and I feel we can stand out here on the iFly and iPad. Stay Tuned.

Thanks Shane. I'll keep an eye open for this.

I am not too greedy so I will just ask to be able to turn off the roads in vector mode. Weather view is almost perfect but it doesn't show airspaces such as restricted of MOAs so it not ideal.

In the Miami Class B in my area it is imperative to see the airspace boundary and small corridors. When you add the roads it really makes it harder to see.

Anyway, maybe its me but never understood the need to show roads on an aviation GPS :)

Thanks,
Chris

>never understood the need to show roads on an aviation GPS :)<

Some folks regularly fly IFR (I Follow Roads) :)

Sometimes the FAA does something sensible and has airspace that follows roads to make it easier to know where not to go. Look at the ORD CBA, on the West edge of the inner ring, and north along another section. I would imagine there are other places in the country that are similar.

Talking about DE clutter, I know you are working on putting, weather on the sectionals. have you thought of a way to "Mask" the weather when we are looking for an Airport. TFR, Airspace, Etc. and then, returning to WX mode.
Just a thought
Ciao
