I think we're both talking about downloading of our favourite maps Shags.

If I'm based in Melbourne, I need Melbourne VTC, VTC inset, VNC, WAC and Planning Chart south, plus ERSA.

I have no desire to download "all" of the maps if I only need those ones. a. it takes a fair while b. uses my bandwidth c. does you no favours.

As I said earlier I can't see the need for ALL of the maps.

Maybe if there was a checkbox or similar next to the maps I wanted to download I could pre-select them once off. Any additional ones I might need for a trip, I just download them individually or select the checkbox next to them.


I also talked to Bas about another feature I liked. Rings around CTAF's or similar set to a specific distance that I need to worry about them in if I'm cruising past. The Garmin 296 does this - you can set a 10 mile proximity ring around an airport for example. Otherwise if I'm travelling from airport A to airport B and I pass alongside airport C, unless I click on airport C to see the distance, I have no way of knowing how far from it I am.
