FS Map Tool - A new mobile map app utility for MS FS 2020

Postby alberto2000 » Tue Oct 20, 2020 3:53 am

Announcing FS Map Tool, a new mobile map utility for MS FS2020 which has just been released on the Apple App Store and will be available soon on Google Play, too. It's a simple yet effective external map utility that shows your current plane location on an interactive map, alongside other parameters such as speed, altitude and heading.

Head over to http://www.fsmaptool.com for more info and download links.

I've made this in my spare time as a fun side project. Let me know if you have any issues or suggestions and ideas on how to improve the app. I'm open for feedback and happy to include new features wherever possible.

Happy flying!

Hopefully there will also be a PC-version?

If you are running a second monitor then there is this:

I use it all the time. It also has nav data overlay.

And video of how to do it.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Hi there

No PC version planned, sorry. This is specifically for folks who want to have a map natively on iOS / Android.

Best
