When flying in the Alps for the last few weeks, I always expierenced that the Austrian GAFOR routes disappeared at night time.
This happens in planning mode as well as in flight mode.

During daytime they are shown.
Do I have something set up wrong?


Would it be possible somehow to keep them visible?
Possibly also without colors.
The GAFOR routes are special in Austria, as they show possible pass over routes in not so perfect weather.

In planning mode it would be helpful, as planning is done at any time of the day or night.
In flight mode it would help a pilot to choose a route without having to tap SykDemon in case he runs into bad weather where he is already busy with the plane.

GAFOR routes are shown in dotted gray, and they "light up" with colours when there is currently a forecast to show. If you zoom in too much (to aerodrome level) they disappear for map clarity.

I checked it again today.
As long as the GAFOR identifiers were visible, the colored GAFOR routes were also visible.

After that, they were only visible under extreme magnification, but not in larger view.
That zoom stage is useless for planning or in case you need to find a route in flight, even if there is no GAFOR value available.

Is it possible to display GAFOR routes in the same scale as in colored mode, in this case only in gray?
