Mini Map view on Instrument Panel page

When in the map view we can have various round dial instruments overlaid on the screen. What about creating a round "gauge" (in the large size) for the Instrument Panel screen that is basically a 5 or 10 mile diamater map view centered on the airplane? It wouldn't really be for navigation but it would show the immediate airspace around the airplane and help increase situational awareness while monitoring the flight instruments. Sample idea: (please excuse the white space around the instrument - couldn't copy/paste just the circle)

I think that an even better alternative is simply to keep showing the GPS moving map BEHIND THE INSTRUMENTS.

Re: Mini Map view on Instrument Panel page

Tony,

That is an interesting idea. The control would probably need a config button so the user could change the basemap type, and adjust the zoom level. It could even be useful in other map modes besides just the Instrument Panel, so when panning around or zooming way out, you can still monitor your aircraft position. We'll put this on the wishlist.

Thanks,
Walter
