Switching from radio to map through the PLOG uses more resources, as you need to scroll to/identify the radio part of the PLOG. When looking at radio 2 times in a row (yes, I sometimes forget what I've just read!), it's far from being straightforward. What do you both think about using the position report toggle in the way it works really well with the scale/SD logo/magnetic needle buttons i.e. a long press & short press = different functions, in this case e.g. short press = radio window vs. long press = Live PLOG or vice versa? No need to shoehorn another button in. -mike

The radio screen will eventually be removed, but before it is, we'll make sure the Live PLOG is a totally worthwhile replacement for it in every way. Mike@EDTG, thanks. I think what you're seeing is the fact that A/A frequencies are not currently considered in the code which determines whether nearby airfield frequencies make it on to the Live PLOG. I will correct that and give them the same consideration as A/G frequencies.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 8.1K, Visits: 9.4K	Is anyone else experiencing a crash after using the popup menu inside the PLOG to remove or add a waypoint? Today we've started seeing one which looks rather like an Android bug; it's not in our code. We may need to ship 3.2 without that menu until we've investigated more.

Yes I'm seeing it too (Nexus 7, Android 4.2) - but can't pin down exactly how to make it happen repeatably yet. Simon PS Can we have a "Find on map" menu item added to return to the map screen with the waypoint highlighted? Edited 11/13/2014 12:49:02 PM by srayne
