Hi,

Made a short video how to use map view to fly home.

UPDATE version2 ; added the use of the Aircraft Orientation Indicator.
Very basic ; more for newbies than for experienced flyers.



cheers
JJB

Thanks JJB, The red line tip is handy when you get in an area that is hard to determine directions.
