6.3. Overlays

Use `Overlays` to add weather, traffic, airspace, waypoint, terrain, glide, fuel, and other operational layers to the map.

Weather Overlays

• `Weather Radar` shows active radar imagery when available.
• `Infrared Satellite` shows satellite imagery when available.
• `Echo Tops` shows cloud top information when available.
• `GAF` shows graphical area forecast information in supported regions.
• `METARs` shows METAR status markers.
• `SIGMETs` shows SIGMET areas.
• `Lightning` shows lightning data when available.
• `Cameras` shows camera locations where feeds are available.
  

Other Overlays

• `AvPlan Live` shows live traffic when available.
• `Active Airspace` shows active PRD and NOTAM airspace information.
• `Terrain` shows terrain clearance context where available.
• `VFR Waypoints`, `IFR Waypoints`, and `User Waypoints` control waypoint visibility.
• `Map Scale` shows a map scale indicator.
• `Runway Centrelines` shows runway centreline extensions where available.
• `Glide Range` enables the glide range tool.
• `Rocket Boxes` shows rocket box information when available.
• `Fuel` shows fuel price overlays for `AVGAS`, `AVTUR`, or `MOGAS`.
  

Group Overlays

• `Group` lists KML and KMZ overlays shared through your groups when your account has Enterprise Pro access.
• Open `Group`, then open a group name to see the overlays shared with that group.
• Select an overlay to show it on the map. You can show overlays from more than one group at the same time.
• Active group overlays and their group names are highlighted, and each active overlay shows a check mark.
• Select an active group overlay again to turn it off.
  

!Large or complex group overlays can use significant browser memory and may cause the map or browser tab to become unresponsive. Enable only the overlays you need, preferably one at a time, and turn off unused overlays before enabling more. If an overlay is slow or fails to display, ask your group administrator for a smaller or simplified KML or KMZ file.

Hover Detail

• Some overlays include `Detail Hover`.
• Hover detail can show weather, terrain, or other sampled values under the cursor.
• Hover detail may be unavailable in reduced performance mode.
  

Turn Overlays On or Off

• Open `Overlays`, then open `Weather`, `Other`, or `Group` to find the overlay you want.
• Select an overlay to turn it on. Active overlays are highlighted and may show a check mark.
• Select an active overlay again to turn it off.
• For `Weather Radar`, `Infrared Satellite`, `Echo Tops`, and `Terrain`, open the overlay submenu and select the `Enabled` row to turn the overlay off.
• To turn off `Fuel`, select the active fuel type again.
  

!Overlay availability can vary by region, subscription, zoom level, data feed status, and performance mode.
