These days I planned a flight following the GAFOR route S72.
In planning mode I can see the routes on my iPad, placed my (too many) waypoints on it and could see the route perfectly while in flight.
the disadvantage: The filght plan contained many DCT with obscure numbers and the waypoints were pretty Close, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes distance and it was hard to Encounter the distance until i enter a CTR.
On the return flight I placed less waypoints and accepted straight lines, knowing that I have to fly a different Routing in real world.
But Panic: the coloured GAFOR routes disappeared in flight mode and I had only a hard to see Brown dotted line on the map.
No Problem this time, but can you add a Feature something like: "Show GAFOR routes even in flight mode"? Or did I oversee such a Feature?

The GAFOR routes "light up" with colours when we have the current forecast for them. However this lighting up, and all weather information, is hidden during flight by default. You can turn it on again by going to the Weather menu while you are flying.
