Already gone. 

I can't help you with your problem.

I knew that. Thanks for nothing.

It is something of a fantasy having a vacuum-powered lavatory - which the Longitude has.

I imagine you must make great use of it.

 

Reported.

Reported for what?

Incontinence? 

Never good at VR.

For trolling.

I flew from PABR to PAFA on A320.

@ThomseN_inc I think everyone has misunderstood your question, which has led them to being pretty unhelpful. So...

Yes, the moving map does seem to stop at a certain latitude. I discovered that when I wanted to try flying to the North Pole - the plane symbol almost completely disappeared off the top of the map and I was unable to follow my progress on it. I think that's 'just the way it is' in the sim, possibly because it doesn't render the poles in realistic detail perhaps?

That's a good flight. Nice one.

We're Pioneers making it up as we go along. Let's work together and work out these High Latitudes.

Thank you. At least someone...

So i'm not the only one experiencing this.

Well...being unhelpful is one thing...intentionally annoying people is another. Thats why i reported him.

You're welcome.

Sure. It sometimes feels like being back in school. Quite sad but thats the way things go in the internet i guess.

Yes, it is, isn't it.

...suddenly at some point the moving map of my G3000 (Citation Longitude) stopped moving and instead my airplane symbol started moving upwards on the display finally dissapearing.

That because you had gone off the edge of the earth and the G3000 map only goes to the edge!

Prior to FSX, flying in the extreme north or south made the terrain go wonky, perhaps there has been a reversion.

I don't think these jabs at the OP are at all helpful.

Yes, we have found that the underlying bing map terrain map only goes up to about 70 or 75 degrees latitude (I forget exactly where it stops). This is likely due to it using the web Mercator projection which breaks down pretty spectacularly up/down there.

That being said, real avionics often have troubles in those latitudes as well and are generally limited in the modes that can be used in the polar regions. There are areas of very low magnetic flux and so even magnetic corrections driven by navigation units get into trouble. Very tricky flying up there.

The operating manuals of the avionics in question will generally have sections on polar region restrictions and alternative operations. Lots of times you can't use LNAV, or you may have manually slew AHRS, and such. And each aircraft may have operational restrictions on top of those provided the avionics.
