Using the Enroute Charts View

The vector chart you see when you first open FliteStar is a computer-generated map drawn from the data in several databases. The charts included with FliteStar should not be used as a sole means of navigation. Vector charts offer fast rendering, continuous zooming, feature display selection, and easy updates to NavData. An example of FliteStar's built-in Default theme vector chart with terrain appears below.

NOTE The Enroute Charts View is for reference only, and not meant to be a replacement for paper charts. Due to decluttering constraints, some data elements (such as segment distances) may not be available.

Certain map elements are visible or hidden for certain themes. The high and low enroute themes are the most controlled and correspond as closely as possible to the printed versions, but all the themes have constraints as to which map elements display at which zoom levels.
