Suggestion for Map

[Jason210]

Hi

Can I make a quick suggestion regarding the map gauge? How about having a version where the rose and heading indicators are shown a quarter of the current size in the top left, and then opening the map so that it's centre is randomly offset from the plane's location? That way there would be nothing to indicate the actual position of the aircraft. You'd only know roughly where it is, as in real life. You could still have the NDB and VOR radials show from the centre of the aircraft, as these would then correspond to plots from distant beacons. In other words, if you have the receivers tuned to a couple of stations, you would be triangulating your position.

Another possibility could be to have a map gauge showing a different projection, with lon lat lines. This would then work nicely with the sextant gauge.
