Love the app, love the RealView feature, love that RealView shows the traffic pattern (base & final legs) for each runway... But, don't love that the runway numbers disappear as you zoom down to the RealView level. It's obviously not critical. In most cases you've been seeing the runway numbers for awhile at higher zoom settings. But, for those that have occasional memory fades, or in the case where you click on an airport and go directly to RealView, you've forgotten or never seen the runway numbers.

Thanks!

Your wish has been discussed internally, and has been approved! Can you please tell me a few airports that you typically use where the runway #'s are not showing. For most airports, the Runway #'s show while also in Realview, but they disappear as you zoom in further. Also, what type of device are you using, and what is your screen orientation?

My intention is to show them at closer zoom levels than we do now. But if you zoom in far enough, they will disappear, and this is on purpose, because we don't want the runway#'s to occlude the RealView zoomed way in ... since at super closer zooms, you might be trying to make out details, and we don't want text blocking your view.

So we'll just re-balance this to show the Runway #'s closer in, and that should do the trick.

Airports: KAWO (home), S43, 1RL, KBVS, KFHR, KORS Device: Samsung Note Tab (8"), in landscape mode. You say "for most airports, the Runway #'s show while also in Realview, but they disappear as you zoom in further", but I don't see that. Once I long-press on an airport, and click on "Zoom to RealView", it goes right to the satellite image and there are no runway numbers (except those painted on the runway *if* it's asphalt and *if* you zoom in really close). I think what you're actually saying, is that if you zoom in a bit at a time, and get to the point where the airport becomes a large purple circle, yes, then you do show the runway numbers. But I thought "RealView" was when you go to or beyond zoom level 8 and the purple circle becomes the satellite image. Anyway, that's where the runway numbers no longer appear, though you do show the red lines for base-and-final legs. What I was hoping is that you would append the runway numbers to those red base-and-final leg lines. Thanks.
