#1 Post by larryv6768@gmail.com »

Is there a way to change the color of the airplane position icon in the map function?

I've done this, as stated by Ralph, which will be integrated in the EFB at some point
SI, still have to work on MAP feature for the aircraft to be properly located on the background map ... ;)

There's indeed still an offset. It's on the todo list.

That's on my wish list. Create a tile server with aviation style map tiles.

Yes,
ArcGIS is not cheep. :D

You should explore QGIS and Manifold.
Once you decide on a platform, I can help with data sets. :mrgreen:

In fact most data sets are available on AIR MAN Discord.
