Hi menion,


i have seen a good feature for airsport in the app "VFRnav" on playGoogle.


The beam display the expected position of the airplain/ballon after time x (adjustable 15-30min), flying current speed and direction.


balloning example:


in flyingdirection is a "no landing area" (town/forest)


remaining time to sunset 30min.


decision: can i fly on, or land before these area?


It will be very helpfull you can implement these feature ;-))

Hi menion,


i tried it with car ;-))


see modifyed screenshot (2 Minuten)


it works for me, if you can change some things:


1. visability of font is too smal with low contrast to the Map, it is difficult to read.


2. i can ́t add "course bearing line" with "Quick switch"

Settings -> Map - objects & style -> Color on map -> dark


Settings -> Map - objects & style -> Text size -> 40

You are right ;)
