I know how to add .jpg static information pages to the knee board but how do you add interactive map pages that show your aircraft's movement? There are presently 4 such pages.

 

Thank you.

You do this by adding waypoints to the mission in the Mission Editor, place waypoints onto areas you will be over flying and the maps will display your route and you will be able to "Mark" your position as you fly.

I have found that if my Way Points extend to areas beyond the scale of the map you will not see them.

 

But to my original question, are you saying that I cannot add additional map pages?

"I have found that if my Way Points extend to areas beyond the scale of the map you will not see them." --- of course that means your flying off the map wouldnt it ? Your use of the word "scale" you mean map edges or borders ? Scale is the ratio of the distance on the map corresponding to the distance on the ground.

 

As i stated that's the only way to do it that i know of. Of course you can add as many other pages and maps as you like, but if you want to see your route, way points and position interactively you need to use ME and inputting your route with way points is the only way to do it as far as i know. What you need to remember is that the system isnt perfect and that when you are showing yourself not marked you may have to scroll to another map, and also there is a tendency to "disappear" on the map as well, some glitches that happen from time to time.

Thank you for your response.

 

Yes I know what you posted above and know how to work with ME...but I wanted to add an entire theatre of operation interactive map that works with the kneeboard program.

Goodluck :music_whistling:
