@ohommes Drag and drop also works on iPhone using multi touch: Go to your shared folder and press and hold (using index finger). If it shows a popup menu just continue to hold and don’t release. Now with your thumb swipe up and click on Safari where you already have the interactive map loaded. Now just drop the file there. See screenshot after the drop.

@jayb I would have done that if the Bullseye would be in the mission.ini file but it isn’t. It is also not in the Pilot.ini after you hit DTC save. So I can add an option to let your place the Bullseye for discussion but target_25 is not available in these .ini s. If you think allowing to place and this discuss the placement is good then I will add the option to place it on the map.
-
@ohommes that would be a great option to have. The default placement could be the map default. Thanks for considering it
-
@ohommes would be cool!

Update July 20th 2022
Added Bullseye function Added 4 colors for whiteboard function
Bullseye
Althought bullseye is target_25 this is not stored in the mission.ini or pilot.ini. However by
selecting the bullseye icon in the toolbar you can enable/disable the bullseye and when enabled you
can drag the bullseye to the location. -
These are the map (x,y) coordinates for the default Bullseye in KTO:
BullsEye
x: 1523550.8
y: 1280832.2On KTO, the bullseye could default to that position.
A question regarding zoom out: If I zoom out to get a good look at the map, I have to zoom my browser window down to, say, 40%. What happens is then that the drop-down and the drawing controls also scale down to that and become very small and hard to see and click on. If possible, it could be cool if they could keep their size when zooming in/out. Or if some other zoom mechanism could be put in at some point.
Thanks,
JayB -
@jayb at some point this will be added. First working through some other features and enhancements.
-
@ohommes Awesome news, thankyou for considering it
-
Update July 24th 2022

-
awesome work guys
-
@Micro_440th Great tool. Is it possible to lock the Bullseye in place once it is turned on? I find myself accidently moving it to a new position, even though that was not my intent. Or maybe a reset to original position. Thank you.
-
Sorry for being dense but how does the ruler work? If I select it and draw I get the distance+radial measure. Please help a map noob ️
-
@Abe if you select another tool and/or remove the left mouse, it should stay.

To your description it works as intended:-)
What is not working for you/what should be improved? -
@Micro_440th Yes, that works. I will just have to make sure I do that each time. Thank you.
-
@Micro_440th Ah I see, haha. That function was there before the ruler, so I thought that the ruler tool was something else like an aid for annotation with straight lines or something
-
@Abe if you see the Bullseye icon is selected (black background) you are in Bullseye mode which means you will move it if you click the map. If you don’t have the black selection showing it means you have an old version or bullseye is in disable mode. Also if the bullseye icon is selected and you press it again it will disable rendering the bullseye to declutter. And it will show a non-selection for the toolbar icon.
