Re: Open flight maps

Hello Dimonster2,
the maps are good enough for us, because
a) we can plan a flight route easier than with the former ones
b) we can forecast the route quite simply. Sometime we are flighing 250 km/h and so the former maps brought us the restricted areas too fast on T2000 screen (screen is smaler than on the computer screen). With the higher scales we can follow the flight route on T2000 better due to the overview and we can avoid hidding restricted areas easier.
c) we can zoom to a lower level when we want to read something on T2000. Please consider that we cannot use the flight maps as a navigation support due to legal reasons. We have the ICAO map with us also and so we do not need to zoom to a lower level at any time.
But the maps are great.
Thanks so much for your help.
Best regards
Piloti and collegeues.
