VFRnav flight logs

Hello, I have a question about where deleted files are stored in VFRNav. Specifically: the flight log from my last flight is no longer available. I may have accidentally deleted it, or it may have been lost for some other reason. Is there any way to recover it?

Hi Dietrich,

First of all, welcome here.

Have you enabled the synchronization function?

Otherwise, if it’s just a single flight you can also add it manually. If you deleted it, I don’t think there’s a “Trash” (recycle bin).

Hello Karsten, thanks for the quick reply. Do you mean the synchronization feature on the iPad? I probably haven’t enabled it. But no problem, I’ll be more careful from now on.

Best regards

Dietrich

…and every now and then make a backup in KML format! …that’s better.

Happy flying,
Karsten

Hello everyone,

I think that since the last update VFRNav no longer displays departure and landing airfields. Flight time and route (green line) are shown. Departure and landing airfields only appear as dots. What am I doing wrong, or is it an issue with the app?

Hello @Achim :waving_hand:

the waypoint index probably wasn’t built correctly. It was introduced in the last major update to speed up waypoint search.

Please go to the map management and delete the map that contains the respective airfield. After reloading it the index will be regenerated and it will work again :+1:

Hello Hermann,

I deleted the Frankfurt map and reloaded it. I’ll check on the next flight whether it works again. Do you have to do that for all maps or just that one?

Regards, Achim

The new maps for September are expected to be released today. With the map update this won’t be a problem anymore and won’t need to be carried out again for other maps.

It would be great if you could drop a quick note after your next flight to let us know whether it worked.

Hello

That would be great — I had exactly the same problem with the three dots last week.

Hello Heiko,

happy to test and report back :+1:

Hi everyone, on Friday I went from Elz to Mainz and everything worked again. It was within the Frankfurt map, but I think it applies to the other maps as well.

Regards, Achim

“others” and “cards”, of course. Fingers too thick or the phone screen too small.

…going well​:+1:

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday
