Hi

Whenever I zoom in (during flying or on the ground) LNM jumps back to a certain zoomlevel after a few seconds. How can I stop that and keep it zoomed in in the level I want? tried searching in setting but unable to find where I can adjust this.

Is it even possible?

 

Cheers

Yes you can change this. LNM tries to keep next flightplan waypoint and user aircraft on the map per default. This also changes the zoomlevel.

Go to options on map "Simulator Aircraft" and uncheck "center map on aircraft and next flightplan waypoint". There's more to customize: https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/OPTIONS.html#simulator-aircraft

And keep this in mind:

Note that special gestures are recognized if you use the simple aircraft centering mode (Center map on aircraft and next flight plan waypoint disabled) or if Little Navmap falls back to this mode (see above):

1. Using the mouse wheel, the + and - key or any other method first to zoom will change and keep the zoom distance. The aircraft is still centered but the new zoom distance is used.

2. Starting to look around by first moving the map with mouse drag, cursor keys or any other movement: This will remember the last position and the zoom distance. You can do any map movements and Little Navmap will jump back to the last position and restore the zoom distance where you started the movement.

The same from point two applies if you jump to airports, navaids or other features by double click, context menu (Show on Map) or map link.

Alex, would you ever consider having maybe a few Icons on the UI to change these settings on the fly. I go in and out of these setting and just for convienience would would welcome a few icons.

Great program BTW and thanks for all you hard work and support.

Best solution would be configurable toolbars since the current toolbars get too crowded. Already thinking about this but no idea when.

Alex, thanks again.
