Did 10.1.1.0 change this ? It still "previews" the approach but its not centering/zooming like it used to so I can't see all of the possibilities drawn out. The part I'm talking about is really after selecting the approach and then scrolling thru the (transitions) fixes. I looked for quite some time and couldn't find a user setting. It worked fine before the update.

Oh yea, I got to fly Bill Elliot back to his home base today too :-)

Can't you still scroll/zoom the map via touchscreen as needed?

I believe you can but in actual use, in the air sometimes that doesn't work well. Like yesterday when I noticed the problem it was bumpy enough to cause issues just twisting the knob. Bumby, IMC, night, you want to be trying to zoom....not me :-) It was doing it automatically before the update.. Remember too that the screen is much smaller when trying to select which fix to start the approach, you have datablocks on one side, flight plan on the other and the approach window is open partially covering what map is left.

There were no changes to the preview. Do you have a picture or video of it by chance?

I do have a picture. I'll upload it somewhere and a picture of how it should be/was before. I may be able to get a few more. A video would be nice, guess I can do that on the ground. I may shoot for that.
