[Release] VFRnav 4.27

:small_airplane: VFRnav 4.27

VFRnav 4.27 brings back the radar display on smaller devices and includes major performance improvements across the app.

:sparkles: What’s New

  • New: The radar display is back on smaller devices.
    We found an optimal place for it, and it now appears automatically when traffic approaches — just like in the tablet layout.
  • Improved: Better highlighting of selected airspaces.
    Selected airspaces are now shown with an animation to make them easier to distinguish from surrounding airspaces.

  • New: Support for additional airspace classes, including HTZ/HPZ.

Technical Improvements

  • The highlighting of high terrain has been completely redesigned and is now performant even on less powerful devices.
  • Performance optimizations in several areas, including:
    • Waypoint sheet
    • Flight planning, including route, weather, NOTAMs, and calculations
    • Checklists
    • Route and flight information widgets
    • Vertical airspace profile
    • Map display
  • Improved handling of serial connections to external devices.

:hammer_and_wrench: Fixes

  • Fix: When selecting coordinates for a user waypoint, the map marker was missing when reopening the selection screen.

As always, if you encounter any issues or have suggestions for improvement, we’d love to hear from you — either by email or here in the forum.

Blue skies and safe flying! :airplane:

Great.

Is it intentional that the approach point in the route planning is no longer displayed under “Route”?

Or is it a bug?

:saluting_face::ok_hand::ok_hand::ok_hand:..Nothing more to say!

Pilot greetings

Could you send me the route once via “Share” as KML or GPX to mail@flugbetrieb.com? Of course it shouldn’t look like that

Will do.

This route is a saved one for Sunday.

I also tested it with a newly created route; same result.

Interesting. So it doesn’t seem to depend on the route.
I can’t reproduce it though :thinking:

Edit: Got it :+1: :+1:

With the route I can reproduce it after all. Thank you very much — bugfix is underway :ok_hand:
