Don’t really like having approach plates superimposed over the enroute charts. Now in order to view the plate like I want, I need to switch to North-Up mode and set the plate’s opacity to 100%. Even doing this, the enroute “instruments” are still in the way.

I really want to view the approach plate as its own page, just like the paper version -- at least as an option.

I can second this request. I am constantly flipping between the map and the approach plate as I get closer to my destination.

Any chance of having a switch to turn the feature on or off?

Yes, this feature is on the list and will be implemented soon.

Thanks!

Superimposed plates is a cute trick and a competitive necessity, but I agree with Greg. Glad to see that standalone plates are coming back!

One relatively easy to implement request: Screen space on smaller tablets (especially ) is at a premium and in most cases a full plate display is still much smaller than 5.5"x8.5" I find myself fussing with my plate magnification to get it as big as possible, including cropping off white space around the borders. Could you either do this for me (which may be difficult given the plethora of displays out there) or (almost as good and much easier I think) make my last-used plate magnification sticky so I don't have to re-do it every time?

Thanks.

I would like to see an additional choice under the Select Map button called Charts or Plates. It would bring up the plate and automatically switch to Blank Instrument Layout and zoom the plate to full screen.
