It also shows Ground Track, Bearing, Ground Speed, Altitude, Distance to Airport and Estimated Time of Arrival at current speed.
Press MAP and you have a moving map with "Press and Go." With the map visible, press any place on the map and the Lat/Lon from that location will be stored in the destination list.
Choose to immediately navigate to that location. In this case the navigation bearing line will be redrawn. Edit the name of the location in the Flight Plan screen at any time
If you check the MAP screenshot on this page, you can see that to navigate to your destination, just turn to the plane until the track (black with pointer) line is coincident with the RED Bearing line.. The bearing line can be re draw to start from your current location anytime.
Any airport in our world database can be found by ICAO or a word or phrase from the Description. For example, "paris" would return 25 runways to select from.
