- METAR icons are colour coded for VFR/Low VFR/IFR/Low IFR (blue,green,yellow,red).
- IFR routes are added using stored routes where specified via Airservices Australia.
- Improvements to the way the 'rubber banding' of routes is handled. Tap and hold anywhere along a route, and when the blue ring appears, drag it to a point to insert a new leg in a route.
During the install the app will update, download and install new databases. This database update sets the app up for some exciting new features which will appear in 2012.
