Major redesign of Airport menu
Modern view, ability to check for updates only for a selected airport or for a whole country, clearer sorting of the airports into the following categories: All, Favourites, Downloaded.
'All' contains the whole list of the available airports; 'Favourites' has only the airports you have marked with a star; and 'Downloaded' will show you the airports for which you have downloaded the plates and charts. Easily delete an airport by changing to Delete Mode in the 'Downloaded'.
Have a look at the screenshots below:
Improved airport search
When you start typing a name of the airport or its ICAO or IATA code, the app will show a list of matching airports sorted by distance from your current location. To be able to see the distances make sure to turn on the geolocation on your device.
Ability to download a whole country
Many of our users waited for this fabulous feature to be delivered. Now it's incredibly easy to download the documents for all airports in a country.
You will also appreciate the ease and speed of getting all charts and plates by tapping only one button.
To save documents for a whole country, scroll down to see the country, press the download icon in front of the country. The system will show you how many airports, how many documents you are going to download, also the required and free spaces will be shown.
You will also see the process of the download and be able to pause if needed, The saved country will be displayed in the 'Downloaded' tab.
Redesign of airport weather page
An elegant page with the precise time of the last update for each section - METAR, RAW, TAF, WINDS.
Redesign of Airport NOTAM page
Another beautiful page with important information served distinctly with the help of colours and design. Effective dates of NOTAMs are displayed in a separate field for the pilot's convenience.
Improved support of smaller airports without ICAO identifier
If your home base does not have an ICAO code, it does not matter anymore - in the updated RocketRoute app you can save the airfield and check all necessary details for it. To find an airport start typing its name in the search box and select a the necessary airfield as in the example below:
After you have saved the airport, it will be available in the 'Downloaded' tab of the Airports section in the corresponding country folder.
