Airport Orientation

The Lowrance Airmap 500 had a great feature - A split-screen showing the location of the aircraft in relation to the destination airport's runway/s.

The runway numbers were prominently displayed to reduce confusion when approaching an unfamiliar airport.

It makes setting up to enter the pattern safer and virtually guarantees you will always be landing on the active runway.

I'll leave it to the pros to decide where to insert that feature in the IFly700.

Re: Airport Orientation

I used an Airmap 600c which the same feature. I agree, it was VERY helpful.

Re: Airport Orientation

I agree.
The way I get the runway alignment after finding which runway is active, I use the popup menu for the runway under 'More Options', 'Show Extended Runway'.
