Description
SimWikiMap is a lightweight, "Pure Gauge" add-on built exclusively for the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 EFB (Tablet). It transforms your standard moving map into a live encyclopedia, bringing the world below to life with a single click.
Whether you are flying a long-haul cruise or exploring remote regions in Career Mode, this tool satisfies your curiosity by connecting you directly to the world's knowledge.
- KEY FEATURES
- High-detail OpenStreetMap (OSM) moving map.
- Live Wikipedia landmarks: yellow dots automatically appear on the
map for every Wikipedia article near your aircraft. They update as
you fly - new dots appear ahead, old ones fade away behind you.
- Live airport landmarks: nearby airports are automatically plotted
on the map as blue pins, refreshed as you fly or zoom in/out.
- Instant info on click: click a yellow dot to open its Wikipedia
description and photo immediately - no extra steps.
- Full location scan: click anywhere else on the map (a city, an
airport, or empty terrain) to retrieve its name, coordinates, and,
on request, its full Wikipedia description, photos, and technical
data (elevation, operator, opened date, etc.).
- Live News & Support: Stay updated via a remote news feed, with a
built-in "How it works" guide.
- Lightweight: Runs as a native gauge entirely inside the 2024 tablet.
No external dependencies, background apps, or desktop servers required.
- WHY DOWNLOAD THIS?
Standard VFR maps tell you where you are. SimWikiMap tells you what is there. It is the perfect companion for the "Virtual Tourist" pilot who wants more than just a GPS coordinate.
- INSTALLATION
- Extract the ZIP file.
