mad bear....
some good advice here...but then you got into GPS and NUMBERS and then some..( by the way if you were with me and i had a GPS i would turn it off )
heads up guys..he started simply saying ( since we know he's not yet reached navigation stage yet ) as i understand it..he was having trouble recognizing features to get used to in his locality and by that i assume he refes to the area in which he ( sorry..better not assume too much )/ or she trains and the airfield area...so see my original submission..
and by the way there is a way of reducing your altitude on google so you can see mountains with any sizeable height but it distorts a bit and tends to flatten buildings ( i'm still learning also )..go to the grey vertical lever near the right hand arrow button which swivels you round...hold it down and watch yourself descend so you can see the horizon..
good luck...and keep your eyes off the dashboard and outside the aircraft..
