If you think the default VFR map is too simple, this is your AddOn.
A map to view OpenStreetMap from within the simulator. Ideal and essential to not lose the immersion when flying in RV or to fly on a monitor with everything integrated into the cockpit.
Now with new options:
- Background color fixed. Now minimized mode works ok.
- New library, faster!!!
- New interface, easier!!!
- New layers and more flexible selection.
