A couple of things about Flight Trails.  I flew tonight and when I got home, I went to load my flight trail on the map.  First thing I noticed is it showed my date of flight as Dec. 18th, not todays' date, Dec 22nd. I checked the tablet is set on 12/33, and if you go into file a flight plan it uses the correct date.

second thing after putting the flight trail history on the map, I could find no way to remove it.  Is there some way to remove a trail from the map, other then turning the ap completely off, If you do that then the new start the trail history will be gone.

thanks

Kent

To remove the flight trail, go back in to the history and select "show past flight trails" again. At the top of the list is the tab to "stop showing past flight trails".

As for the dates, mine used to show local time and a few months ago they bagan to record with UTC time. Not sure about your date issues though.

Hi Kent, thanks for posting.  If you select "Menu => Simulation Mode => {something}" to simulate a flight right there at home, it should also generate a flight trail, so you can see if this reproduces.  It could have been a one-time fluke.  This is the first we've heard of this nuance, that I recall (at least not for a long time).

I just tried it in sim mode and it gave me the correct date.  Next time I am up I will check to see what date it get.  Also,how do you get rid of the flight trials that you load from history on the map?  the only way I have figured out to it is to completely exit the program and then start it back up.  Thanks Kent

To hide Flight Trails, do this: "History => Show Past Flight Trail" => then in the dialog that pops up, at the top is a large button that says "Stop Showing Past Flight Trails".
