Hi skydemon team,

the following feature would be nice to have in VFR planning on IPAD and even during a flight.
Draw a radial from a VOR to a point on the map and show the distance and radial from the VOR.
Leave it on screen so its possible to do the same from a second VOR. Then you know two references
bearing/distance from a point to VORs so we an setup the VOR receivers in the plane as cross reference

Would be indeed a nice feature.
When you press and hold the VOR, in the window that will open, a possibility to enter a radial and distance.
Close the window and the radial is visible on the moving map. Maybe also the possibility to drag the radial around once it is drawn.

Great idea!
Could it work as follows:
- tap and hold on the VOR. Today that brings up the "What's Here?" window with the VOR listed as a waypoint. On the VOR window that then pops up, there is listed some information, one entry being "View on Map". What about adding two new entries here:
- "Enter radial": will bring up a field for entering the radial number. The radial is drawn as a line across the screen. You can later tap the line and move it.
- "Select radial point on map": it clears the popup windows to allow you picking a point on the map. The radial is drawn from the VOR to the selected point with distance and radial. You can later move the point and the radial will follow.

And please, for Android too!

has someone form skydemon itself some point of vue on this possibility?
I think this could be really usefull... at least I miss this in my preperation for a flight.
I used during my last long flight the possibility to track a vor while flying but its not
really the same ...

thanks Peter

could someone of the skydemon team shed his light onto this feature?
is this feasible?

Greetings Peter

Feasible yes, but there isn't enough demand for it. It's easy enough to use the map ruler tool to get the radial and distance of any point from any other (including VORs) so the small extra benefit of a "cross-cut" tool isn't clear.

If you set up the point as a waypoint, the plog will give you a vor/dme ref.
