Hi,

not really but you can simply enable and disable airport or some navaid. This will trigger a display refresh.

Normally it's not needed to refresh manually. Do you see kind of a display issue?

thanks Alex. i have noticed when online VATSIM aircraft are sometimes missing or not mapped until Little Navmap redraws the map [locally, at an airport and enroute] 

for example an aircraft will stay at one place until map refresh. i will see it taxi and line up and then not until it is airborne and away from the field.

i will use your suggested technique and see.

Hi Joe,

this is an issue with the VATSIM updates and has nothing to do with the map. The VATSIM data is only downloaded every two or three minutes.

Have a look here in chapter "Simulator and Online Aircraft Duplicates". Fixing the duplicates might also solve the problem with the slow updates. I cannot give a general procedure for this since it depends on the used network client (like IVAP, etc.).
