R9 Features - Customer Feedback

Avidyne is intensely interested in soliciting feedback from you, our customers, on which features you believe would make R9 even better.  Certain features, like Synthetic Vision, are already set for strategic or competitive reasons, but your feedback is crucial to helping us prioritize the many other features we are considering.  Please reply to this post with your ideas for the features you believe are most important to add.  Feel free to comment on features others have suggested.  Keep an eye on this forum, as we will collate this feedback and propose features for each new software release for your input.    

I saw the CO Guardian Twitter post. However, what I want is a combo setup on the headset something like a lemo plug that also connects up the SpO2 detector to a sensor in the headset. That way I would get constant SpO2 monitoring.

Color TWxCell and Strikes display on my map page as was supported in R8.

When flying into a destination airport (in an area of "troubled" weather), it would sure be nice to pan/scan around the map (perhaps using the radar overlay as guidance) to help see the weather for potential alternates.   Having the little blue/green/yellow/red flags is not an adequate representation of weather conditions.  There is a big difference in blue flags when one is clear/variable and another is clear with crosswinds 30 gusting 45!   We finally got a cursor on our map!  Lets put it to good use!

I agree, and we definitely will add this functionality in one of the next releases.  There are numerous ways in R9 to get METAR/TAF data.  One method is the one you noted, where you can input any airport into the FMS Info page.  Another key way, which I think is closer to the capability you want, is to press the NRST button on the keyboard.  First press gives you nearest airports to present position.  Press it again to get nearest airports to destination.  Then just scroll to the airport you want that has a METAR flag and press the "Info" select key.  It will take you to the Info page for that airport. 

We still will do it with the map cursor, though, because that just makes sense.     

I understand, but the NRST function doesn't leverage the visual depiction of weather which is already displayed on the map.
