Consultation on map

[alejo5515]

Hello, people, bothering again: I'm wanting to know how the TC-1 Map is used, since I downloaded it but I need to know whether to print or view it from another monitor or integrate the simulator. Thank you very much.:helpsmilie:

If you downloaded it, your best bet is to print it on A1 (IIRC) paper. Then either fold it and put it in a clear map case

 

 

(it wears edges over time) or don't fold it but laminate it and put on on a wall near your sim kit, fully stretched (then you need to know where you are and that can be troublesome)..

 

What I did with my TC-1 is that I bought it, sliced it into mini sectionals, laminated each sectional per original fold, and numbered the sectionals. I then took a full A4 map downscaled and marked it like the sectionals with sector number on the back. Everytime I fly I have to go through a handful to know where I am...

 

Based on my experience, you should print it on A1, use the map case (what I would do given a second chance before stupidly slicing my purchased one)

 

For map cases, look here:

if you want to annotate, you can slide in a clipboard of any unused large box cut to folded size as padding under map. then get erasable marker and you'll be good to go. remember, you may need to open the full thing to scroll to a specific region you're flying.

 

If you have Ipad, open tc-1 on computer and crop the area you fly in (need GIMP) with the following resolution for ipad 2:
