Ok, the fact that we're getting nit-picky shows how nice this software already is. But there is a minor annoyance that I think can easily be fixed:

I like to view the sectionals at a specific zoom level (let's say 4 so I can read it from a distance). I view the Vector chart at a further zoomed out level so I can get the big picture of airspace along my route. But when I switch from my zoomed in sectional to the vector chart it keeps the zoom level of the sectional so I must manuallly zoom the vector chart out. Then when I switch back to the sectional, it's zoomed too far out and I must manually zoom in.

It would be nice if the zoom levels are remembered from the last use OF THAT PARTICULAR CHART, not from the last chart viewed.

Yes, please add that feature and I also agree with "how nice this software already is".

Retaining the previous zoom level for the various screen modes would be even bigger help now that we have a weather mode with live ADSB capability. I find that a a lot of zooming is required when toggeling between the sectional and weather screens.

The live weather is wonderful, even with no radar returns on clear days, the Metar's, winds aloft, Pireps, and Taf's are very nice to have on a cross country flight, and so easy to access by just touching the weather screen!

Thanks for all these features,

Dave
