+===MapStructure used by airports.xml ===
+[[File:Airport-selection dialog updated to use MapStructure.png|thumb|Screenshot showing a the [[PUI]] based airports.xml dialog with an embedded [[Canvas]] widget feature a [[MapStructure]] based airport diagram developed by Stuart]]
+Stuart committed some changes to update the Select Airport dialog to use [[Canvas MapStructure]] Layers to display airport information, rather than the now deprecated map layers. The change should be largely transparent to end users - the only significant change is that your can display navigation symbols. This is all part of a long-term effort to provide the building blocks for a Garmin G1000 - these layers could be used for the airport display on the MFD, and could easily be combined with the APS layer to show a moving aircraft.<ref>{{cite web
