I live near Lake Michigan and frequently fly over water. During flight planning, I would like to tap in two places on the screen and have the distance between those 2 points displayed. This will allow me to adjust my flight path to ensure that I am always within gliding distance of the shore.
The balloons that show up when you tap on the screen are great, but can I tap twice, get two balloons and have the distance and heading between them show up?
Right now, the only way I have found to do this is to create a new flight plan between the points in question, then look at the calculated results on the flight plan page. This is very cumbersome since it requires the creation of a new flight plan each time I want to measure the distance on the screen.
Thank you for your consideration,
Rich
