If this feature is already in iFly, I haven't found it.

Am preparing for a flight to KCRQ. They have four FBOs listed on the Airport Info page. It would be nice if the Airport Diagram (or an alternative on the Airport Info page?) showed me approximately where the FBOs were located on the field. (Our old paper Airguide Flight Guide used to have this. Circled numbers on the Diagram corresponded to the different FBOs.)

It's not in the current software, but it is on the development wishlist. It's been a bit of a struggle to find a database of all the lat/longs for those FBOs. That is how they would be presented on a map. We don't currently support addresses on airports. Stay tuned and thanks for the feedback.

Thanks. I wasn't thinking in the exacting terms of lat/long, but I can see how that would make it easier for iFly software to plot. I was thinking of just a general location. I guess that my way someone would have to hand code a rough spot on each diagram. Which would be fairly labor intensive.

Well, good to know you all are thinking about it. (It kinda behooves FBO's to show a diagram on their website of where they are on the field. Amazingly, from what I've noticed, most of them haven't figured that out yet.)
