Using 4.2.2.0

Why can't I view satellite views for my flight planning as this is a key component of planning for me flying single engine microlights. I have to plan my route through open areas which I can't do solely on the aviation charts.

Aerial Photography in our iOS and Android software is provided by the underlying operating system. Windows doesn't do this. You can right-click anywhere on the map on a PC and view satellite imagery, but you can't overlay your planned route or airspace.

Aaaahhh, that is sub-optimal and it seems a pretty big limitation. 

I am on a trial at present and the one thing I was hoping I could do was use satellite imagery to plan my route. I do a lot of aerial photography so need to see more detail than a brown polygon that represents a town.

Right clicking 50 times is not practical. 

I guess that means my trial is over, thanks for your help.
