Mapping Question PLease

Post by Aharon »

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

I have an interesting question. I write lots of waypoints for lots of flights.

What I would like to do is to write waypoints for one flight and have the waypoints imposed on Google style satellite map so that it would show the route where I can identify cities, streets, lakes, rivers, towns, and so on. Simbrief can do it but not
on satellite map. It is on normal map in Simbrief which does not work for me because it does not show
all names of cities, streets, lakes, rivers, towns, and so on.

Do any of you know if there is such website that allows me to input waypoints and have the website show me the
route on satellite map?

Thanks for any assistance any of you might provide.

Regards,

Aharon

Hi Aharon!

Little Nav Map is your free friend for this, its superb. Just make sure you download the correct version for your sim.

TSR2,

I have solved the problem after two attempts!!!! Without use of LittleNavMap!!!!

How?? First attempt which worked well but did not satisfy me was to use Simbrief to create a flight plan with waypoints, then generate that flight, and then export that flight as KML file format to my computer directory. Then I used Google Earth to open that KML flight which automatically put the flight route with specific waypoints onto Google Earth sateliette map. It works BUT BUT it is hard for me to read that sateliette map.

So next to second attempt which proves more successful and MORE USEFUL. I repeated the process as in the first attempt but INSTEAD INSTEAD of using Google Earth, I used GoogleMyMaps which works marvelous and very very easy to read the map using the flight route with waypoints.

Problem solved!! I do not need LittleNavMap

Regards,

Aharon
