Canvas Maps: Difference between revisions

One of the most common 2D drawing needs in a flight simulator is related to charting and mapping of geographic coordinates (latitude,longitude,altitude) to screen coordinates (x,y). 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).
