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.

Watch changes in arrival altitude for different airports.
When an
airport goes out of reach, its label stops showing arrival altitude.
