I'n SOOOO glad that you've found LittleNavmap! It really is an amazing flight navigation program.

As others have commented, you've used it for flight tracking rather than flight planning. Once you get into that you'll be amazed! I always prepare my intended flights in LNM even to pre-planning the approach to a selected runway within the program. You can drag on thrapproach leg to set up a waypoint in line with the runway. So simple! Also, you can show the traffic circuit for the chosen runway and make your approach follow that. Brilliant! You can also show the real weather winds to make your selection.

Hope you really delve into this program - it's very rewarding, especially as its free!

I just downloaded and installed LNV today and I flew the TBM 930 for the first time today. Love this Thanks so much for your helpful videos. Keep them coming....

Highly recommended. I am a year into using LNM to both plan and follow every flight - and I am still learning it’s amazing depth of features and tools. At times difficult and confusing, but well worth the learning curve. My view is that creator Alexander Barthel has over time created and given the flight sim community a sophisticated and invaluable tool. The cost is free but definitely buy him is a cup of coffee if you find you appreciate his work. Thank you Alex for this great tool and thank you Huddison for introducing this to your followers.

A couple of tips. On your keyboard, holding down the Ctrl key whilst at the same time scrolling the mouse wheel will increase or decrease the level of detail in the map. The level of detail is indicated in the bottom panel - Normal is default but ranges from +5 (more detail) to -2 (less detail).

In addition, holding shown the Shift key whilst scrolling the mouse wheel allows for finer control of the map zoom.

Another useful feature I use is "Measure distance from here" which allows you to set a line from anywhere to show distance and direction to/from an object. To use this just Ctrl+click where you want to start the measure line, then move the mouse to the location where you want to place the end of the measurement line. If you then click it will set the line, but if you just want a quick measure then a right mouse button click will get rid of it. If you've set the line you can always reposition it by clicking on the small + at the end of the line then repositioning it and clicking again to set the new position. To remove the line just right-click on the + (at the end of the line) and from the pop-up menu select the option "Remove distance measurement". I have many more tips but these should hopefully be useful.

Hallo I hear you say it is dificult to find some airstrips you can ATC ask for help bij landing than you fly to paternstart that show how come perfect by the airstrip by patern

[johnfoster]

The database is correct, Booker is the area of High Wycombe where the airfield is situated and is either referred to as Wycombe Air Park or Booker Airfield

messin around with little Navmap so far so good not that hard to figure out realy and as usual very Educational and Entertaining videos ( IE KitFox) as usual.

[tnuhaes]

I just discovered your videos, very impressive.. I really like your how to's, enough so that i subscribed right away. A questions for you: where are your follow on Little NavMap how to video's?

[ClipsByMatt]

Great work. This video is very helpful. I subscribed to your channel; thank you for the great content.

First let me compliment you with your YT-intro and video editing skills (if you ever need a personalized Music theme, just let me know). I assumed everyone knew LNM and I was the last in line to experiment with it. I'm using it since FSX and now with FS2020. It has an enormous amount of possibilities but also for beginners it's very handy. Good luck with the channel and happy landings ;-)

@Huddison, LNM is a feature laden flight planning programe.

The GUI is slightly intimidating for first time users, and the learning curve is long and steep, but once you get the hang of it, it'll become an essential part of your simming experience. 👍

I watch this one very informative, James might help me more than planned. G as everyone seems to be using little NAV maps.

[GumperVanLier]

LIttle Navmap is a most have for me. I use it on each flight on my second monitor. The shading feature has been turned off as the third party person who did it, no longer does. Hopefully, it will return on next update. The map, I forgot which one, looks much better when it has this feature. Of note, sometimes my G1000 NXi changes the flight plan when I load it in. It may be the same approach but it changes the transition. It takes time to learn but it has many useful features.

[Scott.Farkus]

Little Navmap is awesome!

I was trying to shoot an ILS approach for a runway in a city close to the town I live in and never could figure out quite where the IAF was. I looked at Little Navmap and realized the VOR station is only 2 miles from my house. lol

Thanks for another great video. I fly on Xbox but use LittleNavMap on my underpowered laptop to create flight plans. I then save them from the laptop to Xbox Cloud Storage (not the same as Xbox cloud gaming). On the Xbox I load the file into the world map and Bob’s your Uncle. I shared a procedure on your discord a while back explaining the requirements and steps.

[morgidvmwmdv]

This is great, it can be used to spot waypoints like roads, railways, roundabouts etc.

[santiagoluib]

Thanks for the video. Can SIDS and STARS be incorporated with this app?

[garytaylor]

Great video. Your videos are a great help. I am new to msfs. i have a question about little navmaps. your maps have green for different terrain. Mine are all white. Just wondering what i have done wrong. Please help.

[clarkac]

Interesting way of looking at LNM, the other way round for me. I see it as a flight planning tool, where you are looking at it in this video as a flight tracking tool. In fact, it does both very well. I plan 90% of my flights in LNM and export them to MSFS, as it has so much more functionality than MSFS. One feature/problem for flight planning is that LNM's database isn't the same as MSFS - to make it the same you have to go to 'Scenery Library' and uncheck 'Navigraph' - unless, of course, you have a Navigraph subscription (I don't). Then reload LNM's database from MSFS by clicking 'Load Scenery Library'.

as Me sim gets better and better and I can fly from one place to another without any real issues just keeping it simple atm and I will try to use this App
