Suggestion: minimal route map

Hi!

When creating a flight plan I can print out a map of the route, but it includes all of the enabled map features (e.g airfields, navaids, OSM background) within the bounding box.

What I'd like is a simplified diagram which only shows the route's legs and waypoints, as well as any relevant navaids (e.g. used to define the waypoints).  No other map features, nothing extraneous.

The sequence information is already there in the "print flight plan" feature - this idea is for a diagrammatic version of that.  There's an example of something similar near the bottom of this page , part of Charles Wood's IFR tutorial.


Anyway, just an idea.  Thanks for the great product!

Seems like a good idea, I'll put it on the list.

Cool, thanks!

Thinking a little more about it; printing a long, spidery route could produce something hard to read, so perhaps the ability to print route subsections would solve that.
