No formating required. Here is the link to the above map https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ll=38.137561,-78.449593&spn=0.01735,0.042272&t=k&z=15 The map above is AVSIM's home airport, Charlottesville, Virginia, KCHO. The image is a little out of date. They are extending the runway from 6,001 feet to over 8,000 so that larger aircraft can take off from there.

July 4, 201312 yr These maps seem to take quite a long time to load on the screen, much longer than normal images take... Rónán O Cadhain.
July 4, 201312 yr Author These maps seem to take quite a long time to load on the screen, much longer than normal images take... You are kidding right?
July 4, 201312 yr You are kidding right? No, for me they're noticably slower than normal images, is there a way of maybe reducing their size in the message box to reduce load? Nice feature to have though, should make pointing out locations much easier in future... ^_^ Regards, Ró. Rónán O Cadhain.
July 4, 201312 yr Author No, for me they're noticably slower than normal images, is there a way of maybe reducing their size in the message box to reduce load? They are not processed by AVSIM. It is a simple call to the URL at Google that is then loaded in to the message. We have no control over the image speed of loading and the only things that impact it are Google's feed speed back to us, and the amount of bandwidth being consumed by users accessing the AVSIM system in total. We have not control over the size either.
July 5, 201312 yr Here is my local, Kapiti Coast Airport. Now try and make a flight plan from your local to mine, that would be a real challenge for majority of the members on here: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=kapiti+airport&hl=en&ll=-40.902939,174.997187&spn=0.026403,0.055189&hq=airport&hnear=Kapiti+Island&t=h&z=14 Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

You don't need to put it in a link BBCode, as stated above. (((slapping my forehead!)))
July 5, 201312 yr Just paste the URL. You don't need to put it in a link BBCode, as stated above. (((slapping my forehead!))) That's what I did....maybe because it defaults to maps.google.co.nz/ in my region instead of maps.google.com. EDIT: Yes that was the issue. It doesn't like maps.google.co.nz Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

It doesn't like maps.google.co.nz Yeah Matt, that probably is the reason. Okay, I don't have a fix for that. Plus, there's nothing to see in NZ anyway, right? :ph34r: :lol:
July 5, 201312 yr Yeah Matt, that probably is the reason. Okay, I don't have a fix for that. Plus, there's nothing to see in NZ anyway, right? :ph34r: :lol: Exactly....nothing to see here LOL :lol: Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
July 5, 201312 yr Author Exactly....nothing to see here LOL :lol: Having spent my fair share of time (read "waaaayyyyy too much") in Plymouth, I know that there are some great things to see in NZ. I am going to work with the author of this media add-on and see if we can't get that fixed.
