Hi,

i have a idea for a new feature in the Mission planner.
I mostly use the Google Hybrid Map, which does show city names and street names.

Now, if i am going to my flying field (about 30 miles away from my home location) i want to have the map there with me in the mission planner too. i have no internet connection at the field.

So i use the prefetch function. but each time, i have to scroll around on the map, trying to find the field location.

Couldn't a search field be incorporated, where i write "street blablabla, san francisco" and the map jumps to the location? Basically just like using google maps, searching for a location.

That would be a handy little feature...

the easiest way is to turn on a map that has road and city names

Michael:  I see this post is old, but I thought I would ask a question to gain a better understanding of your suggestion.

When you turn on a map that has road and city names on it, how do you actually "search" for the location?  I don't see a field to enter a street address or location to zoom to.

Thank you.

right click > map tools > zoom to

Thank you Michael.

Michael:

Once I find the location on the map by using the "zoom to" feature, how do I move the home location to that point?   I want to create a mission before I get to a location 100 miles away and know where my home location will be at that point. 

Thanks

click in the lat box, then click on the map to set home.

This is a great Idea i also have two points where I flight and I also have to search it. A button with favorite points will be quite nice.

Agreed. Search is needed.

im adding a zoom to button, that shoudl take care of this

this is quite nice thx
