''' Flight Planning and Route Manager '''


The "flightplan" Nasal extension function  has been improved, making it possible to retrieve a hash representation of the flight plan stored in the route manager.  It is now possible to directly show a SVG image for each waypoint and connect them using OpenVG paths.
* Route Manager now has better support for Navigraph procedures.
