Moving Map with touch screen interface

 

WinPilot's touch-sensitive map has an extremely friendly user interface. To adjust the viewing area of the map, pilot can simply drag the map using his finger, or by touching any object on the map, he can invoke a window with detailed information about that object. For example, when a turnpoint is touched, the program shows a window containing detailed information about it, including altitudes required to reach it at different MC settings; touching a label describing an airspace segment brings up a window describing that airspace, including upper and lower limits.

The map can be oriented either North-Up, Goal-Up, or Track-Up.

There are several available levels of Zoom, allowing viewing features like the smallest details of the turnpoint sector, or the individual Gps fixes, or the entire flying area including all turnpoints and airspace segments.

The bottom part of the screen contains easily configurable NAV Boxes i.e., several available navigation and average vario data displays.

By touching the Menu button at the top of the map, the user can access the other pages of the program, like: Settings, Task Editor, or Final Glide Computer.

When an airport goes out of reach, its label stops showing arrival altitude.
