Map tools

When you drag the tactical map, it pans. PLAN and GOTO change what a click on the map does. With PLAN, a click adds a waypoint to the plan. With GOTO, a click sends the plane to that point. Press the same tool again to go back to panning.

PLAN picks the planning tool

If the map tool is not PLAN, press PLAN. The PLAN button lights up.

If the map tool is not PLAN, press PLAN. The PLAN button lights up.

See it in From plan to flight.
