Airport Diagram Orientation

Hi All.

Note the attached screen shot. The FAA has chosen to orient this airport diagram such that North is not at the top of the page. So, the North-Up orientation in the iFly display is at a goofy angle. I want to view it square in the display with the top of the page at the top, even though that means North will be pointed to the upper left. Any way to do this?

Re: Airport Diagram Orientation

I've noticed one of those goofy airport diagrams also. I would hope they are few and far between, but IDK.

They're more common than you might imagine. Check out KAGC.

I've added this to my task list for the year. In Full-Screen mode, I believe we should be orienting these to the nearest 90 degree angle. Seems like an easy fix.

How about two buttons in full-screen mode that rotate the diagram 90 degrees CW or CCW?
