See You 4 Streaming Maps

With the streaming maps in CU 4, I understand that there is still some
map functionality when not connected to the internet, but I am looking
for some details about this.

At our airport, the internet access is somewhat limited and with
everyone streaming map downloads at the end of the flying day it will
be even slower and chew up expensive bandwidth.

Is it possible to disable the streaming even when connected to the
internet?

Is it possible to use the same maps as used in CU 3.X that are already
on my computer?

Thanks to anyone who can answer this.

Hi Dave,

Once you have viewed a flight in your area, and all the applicable vector
map files for your area have been installed, when you open flights in the
same area in the future it shouldn't need to connect to the internet and
download maps (because they are already installed).

I suspect that you are worrying about a non-issue.

Go to Tools | Options, and under "Map appearance" / "Vector maps",
look for the "Automatically download maps" option and make sure it is
not checked.

Turning off streaming maps in cu4 makes it cu3... thats is after all the
only difference of note.

Excellent! My problem is my Internet connection while traveling in the
motorhome is usually mobile broadband with a data limit. I don't want
SeeYou gobbling up the MB on mobile broadband, as I'll happily wait
until I'm at a wi-fi location. Of course, I'll try to get everything
downloaded before leaving on the trip.
