Help on long-press is missing info

[pasniak]

Here's the text:

•Long-press any point on the chart (with GPS acquired) to display text at the top of the screen giving approximate compass direction and distanceFrom, followed by exact GPS bearingTo, that point in relation to your GPS location. Very handy when contacting ATC or making CTAF calls!

That is somewhat true but really long press will give you the point/apt/tfr etc. info. (I was looking for a place to add somewhere a doc on airport METAR/Performance display.) Maybe we should merge the above with the following doc?

Note: The current Destination used by Avare for various features can be set after a long-press on the chart. Just tap either the button that pops out containing the name or coordinates of the location you pressed; or the button that pops out containing the word "Plan" to send that Destination to the flight plan.

I propose to merge the two with this text:

Long-press any point on the chart (with GPS acquired) to display a page containing:

• Action buttons row: **->D** sets up the point as Destination, **+Plan** adds or inserts the point to the Plan, **Plate** displays plates, if the point is an airport **A/FD** displays a synthetic Chart Supplement page (click on the top dropdown to go to scanned Chart Supplement) **X** to close the page
• either FAA code of the airport or GPS coordinates of the point (in _name@lat&lon_ format, name is user's name for the point),
• Position distance and compass direction and GPS bearing From the point, followed by exact GPS bearing To the point in relation to your GPS location. Useful when contacting ATC or making CTAF calls. If the point is an aiport:
• the airport's METAR or the closest METAR found in a configurable radius (in Weather Preferences),
• Performance data for use at the airport: Density Altitude, the best runway, and its head/cross winds calculated using winds in the above METAR,
• the airport's TAF,
• the Winds Aloft forecast reported by the closest available meteorological station,
• nearby (?) Special Use Airspace (SUA),
• location of the point with respect to the 4 closest NavAids (VORs),
• data source for the weather and SUA, data downloaded from internet or data retrieved with ADSB,
• data timestamp.

...feel free to copy and change, I am not native English speaker....

Thanks for doing this. The website is woefully outdated, so if you do this and hopefully other improvements to the in-app Help file I can further reduce the website Intro and update the screencaps there. I'm currently planning a trip to HI, NZ & AU including some GA air time, so won't be able to do anything other than crucial changes to the website until mid-Jan. 2017.
