Create Personal Map of Addons?

Featured Replies

Hello: I would like to create a personal map of the world showing the locations of my airport/scenery addons in MS2020. I have tried Google Maps, but I don't like all of the ads and suggestions, etc. Could someone recommend a program (low cost if possible!) that would allow me to do this, including the insertion of individually created icons to differentiate various types of locations? I am not talking about a "moving map" or flight following addon; Just a map for viewing on the computer. Any advice appreciated!

Do not use Google Maps.

Use Google MyMaps...

The Addon Linker can display a map of all your installed scenery/airports

The Addon Linker that @pmb mentioned is the easiest way to do this.

But if you really want to do custom icons and reference data, then Google MyMaps is the way to go.

I have something like that setup through Google MyMaps for all my MSFS2020 add-ons:

If you want to use the same icons I did, I shared my icon pack on Flightsim.to: https://flightsim.to/file/27155/tygerr-s-map-icon-collection

Found the English version! I cannot figure out how to add your icons to the map instead of the standard pins. Can you advise? Thanks for your help!

After you add the airport to the map, there are a set of icons you can click on to the right. The first icon going left to right is called "style." If you click on that icon, you can change the icon to something other than the standard pin.

I use Google Earth to do this. The desktop version.
