The 3D (Synthetic Vision) Map

Enable 3D Synthetic Vision mode by tapping the 3D cube icon on the Map Bar . This button cycles between 2D, 3D, and AR (Augmented Reality) views so you may need to tap the button twice to get 3D, depending on where you start. Note: You can disable the AR view with a switch in Settings (gear icon at the top of the screen) if you like. In 3D mode, FlyQ shows a computer generated image based on the direction of flight and, if you have an AHRS (generally part of your ADS-B receiver), roll and pitch. The 3D view required downloading relatively large files with the high-resolution terrain data needed to generate the view. This switch, High-Resolution Terrain , is on by default in the ChartData Manager (“down arrow” icon at the top of the screen) portion of the app but, unlike 2D map data, this data is not downloaded “on demand” as you sit at your desk. Rather, you must explicitly go to the ChartData Manager page and click Update Now to download the data or you will not see any terrain. On an iPad, the default 3D view shows an EFIS display (HUD) that shows roll and pitch in the center area, current track above the EFIS, and two “tape” displays on the side which show ground speed and altitude. On an iPhone, the tape and track displays are not shown to save screen space.
