While you're still on the ground and connected to the internet, open the map in the app, zoom in and out, and scroll over the flight path at the desired zoom levels.

Once you're in the air, no internet connection is needed to view the map! - **Automatic Updates:** Enable auto-updating of your airplane’s position on the map, providing a seamless experience as you fly. - **No Internet Required:** Flight Mode Map functions entirely offline, so no data charges or Wi-Fi access is needed. ### Enhanced In-Flight Experience: - **Stay Informed:** Quickly view your flight information at any time—your altitude, speed, and time remaining to your destination are always visible. - **"Don't Sleep" Mode:** Keep your screen active throughout the flight with our handy "Don't Sleep" feature, so your navigation data is always ready at a glance. - **Customizable Units:** Choose between metric or imperial units for altitude and speed. - **GPS-Optimized:** The app is optimized for window-seat use, ensuring you get the best signal possible while in the air. ### Simple and Reliable: While in-flight GPS reception may vary, **Flight Mode Map** ensures you always have access to the most accurate information available. Whether you're on a window seat or further from the plane’s edge, our app is built to work even in less-than-ideal conditions. ### Easy Permissions Setup: Flight Mode Map respects your privacy and only requires minimal permissions for location and altimeter data. Setting up is easy, with clear instructions for enabling permissions if necessary. **Flight Mode Map** is the perfect travel companion for frequent flyers, aviation enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to stay in control of their flight experience.
