cheers for the advice..
I thought that may be the case...
I have a Skyforce 111c in the aircraft anyway , but as I already had
Flitestar IFR and a new laptop, it was not too expensive to upgrade to
flitemap....
I wonder who they market this at then ?

So true.
But it's still usefull to take a sideways peek every now and then to
confirm
the current versus desired position., especially in non-coastal area of
Australia where radio navaids tend to be few and very far between.
