Description

I recently returned from the Philippines where I had the opportunity use MP in various settings. I compiled a wish list of items that would improve the usability of MP and will post them all separately for tracking.
1. Map Markers -
When I arrive at a new site I need to determine where the landing runway will be to set up the autoland. To be certain that the map matches the site, I always walk the runways. I would like to have the ability to place labeled markers on the map for reference. This will also help me to quickly set up a new autoland if the wind direction switches. Often there are obstacles that I would like to avoid that aren't easy to see on the map. It would assist in the pilot's situational awareness to be able to identify these objects.
