One of the most common 2D drawing needs in a flight simulator is related to charts and mapping of geographic symbols to screen coordinates. This is a shared requirement for navigational displays, MFDs and also GUI charts/maps. That's the reason why the Canvas system supports a dedicated mapping mode which automatically converts geographic coordinates (lat/lon/alt) to screen coordinates using two different mapping modes (horizontal/vertical). | One of the most common 2D drawing needs in a flight simulator is related to charts and mapping of geographic symbols to screen coordinates.
