Questions

Does the map need the Bridge?

Only for your own flight. Network traffic, controllers, and airports work on the phone alone. Install the free Bridge on the sim PC to see your aircraft and its telemetry.

Does it show MSFS or X-Plane AI traffic?

No. Traffic on the map comes from VATSIM and IVAO. Your own aircraft comes from the Bridge.

Can I fly offline and still use the map?

Yes. With the Bridge connected your flight shows on the map with its route even when you are not on a network.

Does it work on iPad?

Yes. On iPad the sheet becomes a sidebar and the map stays visible the whole time.
