May 12, 20215 yr Did any of you, folks, find a way to bind LNM to a key or a joystick button to have it pop up and out of the game screen ? The alt-tab that I do seems a bit prehistoric to me.

May 12, 20215 yr I couldn't find a way but am happy with using little navmap in full screen using alt + tab as it doesn't pause the sim. Ideally, I guess it would be better on a second screen but I don't know what the performance hit would be. I find little navmap to be very detailed and wonder if my eyes are good enough to see it clearly enough if I were able to to put it in a pop-up window. I have say that it has been one of the best additions to my simulator having tried a couple of others (albeit a bit fiddly until you get used to it).

May 12, 20215 yr This mod allows you to have it appear in your in-flight menu/toolbar: https://github.com/bymaximus/msfs2020-toolbar-little-nav-map BUT ... you'll need to be running LNM in server mode. I can't remember whether you can bind a key to it (I've uninstalled mine). It won't be a default MSFS key, but maybe the mod will allow a binding of some kind. To be honest, LNM has just so much functionality - much of which you simply couldn't do in a tiny pop-up. ALT-TAB is way better. If all you want is a moving map, there are plenty of other mods around that do just that. Edited May 12, 20215 yr by Adamski_NZ

I am not sure I want to get into the server thing, the only other computer I have , a laptop, cannot be upgraded to W10. I'll have a look anyway. I do use LNM for more than a moving map indeed. But I fly some aircraft which have no decent navigation instruments (for instance the Corsair) and it is nice to check from time to time my whereabouts vis-à-vis my flight plan by glancing at LNM in tiny window. 😃 Dominique Simming since 1981 - [email protected] GHz with 16 GB of RAM and a 1080 with 8 GB VRAM running a 27" @ 2560*1440 - Windows 10 - Warthog HOTAS - MFG pedals - MSFS Standard version with Steam

May 12, 20215 yr Maybe Asobo should look at signing up the LNM team. Saves reinventing the wheel! Rob (but call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind).

I have this running on a cheapo 17 inch 1280 x 1024 screen alongside my main screen and haven't noticed any performance hit at all.

Nothing more has to be done.
May 12, 20215 yr I most often use it with the Windows 10 multiple screens option. A second screen can be created via Alt Tab and clicking the plus top left. Shortcut to switch between the screens is Ctrl Winkey Arrow Right or -Left. Open MSFS in screen 1 and open LNM in screen 2. Now it's easy to switch between them, but for the fact that the shortcuts require two hands. The fix for that is AutoHotKey, also known as AHK. To have LNM permanent in view you could opt to run MSFS in windowed mode (and make it as large as possible and move it as far up as you can, then it's almost not noticeable). LNM can run it its own window which can be made to be 'always on top' via AHK. Alternatively, using the LNM server it can run in a browser on a laptop or a tablet next to your MSFS screen.

Note: MSFS doesn't handle Simconnect too well (CTDs) so you'll need to extend the refresh period in LNM from 500ms to 1000ms (I think - from memory) to reduce the load a little.
May 13, 20215 yr The freeware KV10 Kneeboard Viewer app allows you to show or hide LNM on top of MSFS and might meet the needs of some users. https://flightsim.to/file/9723/kneeboard-viewer-10 Al Edited May 13, 20215 yr by ark
