After setting map data, enter map save, then reboot to load the new map.

home

Sets the home location for power on and simulator. This can be used to fly around and verify other waypoints.

home <lat> <lon>
home set - set current location as home

airport

Sets map data for airports, including real airports and model airports. See the instructions for adding airports.

Real airports are designated as B, C, D, or U and will display their airspace on the map.
Model airports are designated with M.

Draws rings to display 400 ft, 100 ft, and 0 ft ceiling limits.
The 100 ft and 0 ft rings are approximate locations. Every airport is unique.

Delete entry:
airport <entry #> del

waypoint

Sets map data for waypoints and VORs. See the instructions for adding waypoints.

Waypoints are designated with W.
VORs are designated with V.

Waypoint draws a triangle.
VOR draws a VOR symbol with a compass rose.

To set waypoint data:
<name> <lat> <lon> <options>

<name>    waypoint/VOR identifier, 4 letter identifier
<lat>     latitude, degree.dddddd up to 6 decimal places

Example:
bandit 1 100 12

Set speed to 0 to disable plane.

sim

Enables the simulator. The flight controller must be connected to get MSP data out of it. It gets pitch, roll, and yaw data from the flight controller, simulates airspeed and altitude, and changes based on pitch. If the radio is connected, it will get airspeed from throttle. Direction can be changed with yaw. Pitch and roll can be changed with elevator and aileron, and altitude will change with pitch. Use it to fly around the map and check map data.

sim <on/off>

capture (1.07)

Outputs a Python file that will generate a .data file in RGB565. The file can be opened in Gimp or Photoshop. Select RGB565 Little Endian format and set the width equal to the width of the captured screen.
