Hello All.

Is it possible to have the outlines of the ground (ie outlining lakes) to display on the GPS?

I see that they have outlines of different states and provinces but is it possible see where land ends and ocean lines begin?

Thanks

I think that the default is that this is on. You can certainly make out the British Isles.

I kinda thought that the lines would show up if you zoomed out far enought but I just flew over the great lakes and it did not show me... ??? ???

I've noticed that on the map view the great lakes don't show up either. It must be just seas and oceans that it shows. You'd think the great lakes would qualify on the grounds that:

A they're bloody massive
and
B they're in the USA/Canada

I think you'll find that only borders between states and countries show in MS which is definitely a pain. The only time a river shows is when it is a border so something like the Great Lakes won't show because the border between the US and Canada is in the middle of the lakes. FSnavigator might show it.
