World Map

The world map view shows the world globe. It also shows the airports and navaids on the globe. The display of airports and navaids can be turned on or off using the tool bar icons. Hover your mouse over an airport or navaid spot to see its name. When zoomed out only larger airports and VOR navaids are shown. As you zoom in smaller airports are progressively shown along with other navaid types. On a slower computer the map may not be very responsive if both the airports and navaids are being displayed, and you may like to turn them off.

The map view also shows the flight plan you have created.
