Dear Walter:

Looks terrific! ... and is consistent with your admirable well thought-out user-friendliness.

Just one more jab for a more prominent airplane position gizmo - the red in the runway extension looks good.

Walter - this is outstanding. Implementation of the runway extensions seems perfect.

I notice on the lower right of the images is a box labelled Speed, Track, Altitude - I assume these are controls for your simulator and don't really appear on our realt-time navigation screen?

Correct, this doesn't show up when used in flight, only when you turn on GPS Simulation. The old control only allowed for turn & speed...needed a way to control altitude. Each tap of the Altitude arrows will increase/decrease the climb rate 100fpm.

Very nice! I think you nailed the size and color scheme. Can't think of a scenario where I would need/want less than a 5nm line length. The vertical nav features should be very useful as well. Keep up the great work!

I am impressed with the update. I liked the runway extension on the Lowrance 2000C and this feature will make me miss it less. Keep up the good work.
