The flight plan screen contains three tabs (Edit, Create, and File) as well as a listing or manifest of the flight legs and waypoints. This manifest lists the course, heading, time, and distance for each leg of the flight plan as entered.

The "course" given is compensated for magnetic variation as well as the winds aloft that have been supplied to the system using the Winds button. It also shows the total projected fuel burn based on data entered in the Aircraft Settings screen.

If a target altitude has been entered for a given waypoint, this will show in the VNAV column. The current NEXT waypoint is shown in color in the flight plan screen.

Edit Tab
Contains the buttons that allow enroute flight plan modification. Frequently ATC will require changes to the flight plan that require addition or deletion of waypoints, re-ordering of them or even entering holds. The functions on this first tab were chosen because they are the most common activities.

Add WP
Opens the Universal Finder screen so you can lookup an airport, navaid, fix or user waypoint for inclusion as a waypoint in the current flight plan. This is repeated from the Edit tab.

Delete WP
After selecting an existing waypoint (single tap) in the flight plan manifest, this allows you to delete the waypoint. The result will be that the flight course will then run from the prior waypoint directly to the next waypoint. This is repeated from the Edit tab.

VNAV
After selecting a waypoint, allows you to specify an altitude at which you want to cross the waypoint. Once set, a blue arrow will display next to the waypoint designator (upper center of map screen) showing you whether to climb or descend as you approach the next waypoint. In addition, a required rate of climb/descent number will display in the lower right corner and a target arc will arch across the flight course showing the point at which you’ll reach the specified VNAV altitude based on your current rate of climb/descent and your groundspeed. This is repeated from the Edit tab. For more information, see VNAV Concepts

Next WP
Allows you to select a waypoint from the manifest and make it the next waypoint in the plan. This will NOT delete any intermediate waypoints that may exist, but does set the waypoint number, bearing and distance data on the map to the waypoint selected. Anywhere Map will normally “follow” your flight progress and will automatically know which flight plan waypoint is “next” but in those cases where it gets out of sync with the pilot, this button allows you to synchronize the software.

Winds
Brings up a screen to enter wind speed and direction. The Anywhere Map computes fuel consumption, course, and ETA. If given this information, it will be more accurate. Place wind direction in the top text box, and place the wind speed in the lower text box. These values may be easily edited with the stylus on the slider controls. These values can be shown as the wind vector in the upper left corner of the screen unless changed or overridden. Tap OK when done.

Hold
Toggles with UnHold. This function will PREVENT the map from advancing to the next waypoint automatically when a flight plan waypoint is passed.

If ATC were to instruct you to “hold east of OSWEGO” and you were approaching this VOR from the east, tapping this button before arrival would prevent the waypoint sequencing logic in Anywhere Map from noting station passage, even though you would be over-flying the VOR on each holding pattern orbit.

To resume navigating, tap the UNHOLD button when inbound to the VOR, and the next waypoint will advance automatically when crossing the VOR.

Move Up/Move Down
These buttons will take the selected waypoint/leg of the flight plan and move it up or down in the order of the flight plan allowing a re-sequencing of the waypoints in the manifest.

Close
Closes the flight Plan screen and returns to the map with any changes made in this screen implemented on the map.

Create Tab
These flight planning functions are primarily used in the creation of new flight plans and the modification of existing ones. The most common functions are repeated from the Edit tab.

Add WP
Opens the Universal Finder screen so you can lookup an airport, navaid, fix or user waypoint for inclusion as a waypoint in the current flight plan.

Delete Waypoint
After selecting an existing waypoint (single tap) in the flight plan manifest, this allows you to delete the waypoint. The result will be that the flight course will then run from the prior waypoint directly to the following.

VNAV
After selecting a waypoint, allows you to specify an altitude at which you want to cross the waypoint. Once set, a blue arrow will display nest to the waypoint designator (upper center of map screen) showing you whether to climb or descend as you approach the next waypoint. In addition and required rate of climb/descent will display in the lower right corner and a target arc will arch across the flight course showing the point at which you’ll reach the specified VNAV altitude based on your current rate of climb/descent.

Next WP
Allows you to select a waypoint from the manifest and make it the next waypoint in the plan. This will NOT delete any intermediate waypoints that may exist, but does set the waypoint number, bearing and distance data on the map to the waypoint selected.

Rout Wizard
Tapping the Rt Wizard Button will bring up the Route Wizard screen. Enter the full ICAA Airport identifier in the From and To fields. Each Via (optional waypoint) identifier should be separated by a space.

Reverse
This function will reverse the order of the flight plan in use for the return trip.

Close
Closes the flight plan screen and returns to the map with any changes made in this screen implemented on the map.

File Tab

Load
This calls up the load screen in which a pilot can select a SAVED flight plan from the dialog box shown. Flight plans that were saved from Anywhere or downloaded from the flight planner should appear in this list. If the flight plan you wish to load shows on the screen, tap the filename and tap OK.

Save
This calls up the save flight plan screen. Enter a filename in the “save as” box of this screen. Do not add an extension. The flight plan will be saved with an extension of “FP”. For instance to save a flight plan from PTS to MCK you might type “PTS 2 MKC” in the SAVE AS box of this screen.

Clear Plan
This will remove the current flight plan from the screen. This will not delete the flight plan from the memory.

Delete
This will permanently remove the flight plan from the PDA’s memory.
