I've cooked up a (crude!) moving navigational map as a custom PUI widget - it's
*not* an Atlas-replacement, or an MPMap replacement, more a 'close in' thing
for situational awareness, and a way to prototype and experiment with
techniques I'll use in real cockpit displays in the future. (it's also very
useful for debugging route-manager/LNAV/GPS leg bugs!)
The wiki page:
http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php/Map
includes links to the relevant patches, instructions, known issues (which are
many - it may even crash FG if you zoom out too far, and will certainly bring
your frame-rate right down) and so on.
I plan to add this to the CVS 'soon', so testing and feedback would be much
appreciated. I'd be particularly interested in smaller changes to improve the
usability - I'm aware that people differ greatly in how they like to navigate
such interfaces. 'Big' suggestions such as including terrain elevation data
will be politely ignored for the moment.
Regards,
James
