Mapping Tools

Enroute Flight Navigation is able to import location information (“Map Pins”) from popular mapping tools. This feature has been requested by helicopter pilots working in medical evacuation, rescue and police operations. It can also be used by general aviation pilots who would like to add landmarks (“Hohenzollern Castle”) to their flight routes or to their waypoint library.

Note

The functionality described here is only available in version 2.30.9 or later. At the time of writing, the functionality is only available on the Android and Linux/Desktop platforms.

Note

Due to a change in Google’s policies in early 2025, location sharing from the apps “Google Maps” and “Google Maps Go” is no longer supported. The app “HERE WeGo” has technical issues. As an alternative, consider the app Organic Maps.
