What's New in Aviation GPS
2.1.2
October 5, 2026
Improvements • Smoother traffic: between position reports, traffic targets now keep moving along their last known track and speed instead of jumping every few seconds. A new report that disagrees is blended in smoothly. • Cleaner traffic symbol: targets are drawn as an arrowhead only. The speed line out of the nose has been removed because it cluttered a busy map. The target's own motion now shows its speed. • New support website https://aviationgps.pages.dev/ Bug fixes • Waypoint search: airports are listed ahead of navaids again when both match what you type, and the list shown before you start typing includes both nearby airports and navaids. • Nearest airfield: on the first GPS fix, the app again selects the nearest airfield as your destination when no flight plan is active. • Map wind indicator: when you are 1,000 ft or more above the nearest airfield, the NAV2 wind indicator again shows the forecast wind at your altitude instead of the surface wind. • GPS source: changing the GPS source or demo mode no longer restarts the position source twice, which could interrupt the X-Plane connection. A new installation always starts with the device's GPS.
