How to enable waypoint labels distance / geographical position in v2?

How can I enable the waypoint labels distance / geographical position in v2?

 

I apologize if this topic has been discussed before, but I have searched the forum and I haven't been able to find any information about it.

 

Thank you,

 

PS: The attached screenshot is from v1 and shows the option I am need to enable in v2.

In EFBv2 a new feature called 'Measure' was introduced which is much more flexible and therefore the v1-option is no longer required.

What I needed was simply to see the coordinates of the waypoints. Thank to your clue I found it was as easy as right-clicking on them

 

Thanks!  :- )

... and if you need the coordinates as decimal value, you can set this in the Client settings (Misc). However, setting to decimal values will display all coordinates as decimal values.

Hello again,

 

I am afraid my problem is not solved yet. The ONLY reason why I used EFB in the past, and why I am trying to use it once again, is in order to be able to find out the coordinates of the fixes of SID/STARS when they cannot be flown using radio aids as a reference and/or when the coordinates are not included in Navigraph charts.

 

I fly Concorde, which has a very limited CIVA INS that requires you to MANUALLY introduce the coordinates of every waypoint. Its limit of only 9 simultaneous points in memory makes it impossible to fly complex departures/arrivals. But flying simple procedures, such as the one shown in my screenshot for KOAK, is possible. In v1 I had to do NOTHING to see the coordinates of all the points. They were always there all the time. In v2, however, I have checked that I can see the coordinates by right-clicking (as shown in my previous post) ONLY when there is a RESTRICTION. However, in cases such as the one shown in the screen capture when only the fixes are shown, with no restrition, IT IS NOT POSSIBLE. I can RIGHT CLICK a little bit further from the fix and get an approximate coordinate of that point in the map; but even that is very inconvenient, as the coordinates are gone as soon as I click on the simulator window.

 

Being able to see the coordinates of standard procedures is the ONLY reason why I use EFB, so I would really appreciate any hint in order to be able to get that info in v2. Otherwise I will have to get back to v1; which is a real pity because I really like the "click and drag" feature to move the map of v2 and I would miss it in v1. Thank you once again.

Why don't you just open the Flightplan Window? There you have all coordinates available in the list. (Disregard the last KOAK entry as this was automatically generated when storing the Flightplan "out of the blue" from a SID only...) This should do for the Concorde's CIVA navigation platform.

Thanks so much! Because I was used to seeing the coordinates in the map in v1 and I could see them in v2 for the fixes with restrictions I really expected I could also show the coordinates in the map for other fixes. I will use the flight plan as suggested from now on. Thank you once again!
