–Watching topography and street patterns for more precise pilotage navigation.
–Making aware of world-wide geography for more joyful sightseeing flight.
–Tracing accurate traffic patterns for more efficient training.
–Getting details of taxiways and facilities in complicated airports.

HOW TO USE

Launch X-Plane on a computer and follow in-App instructions to setup network connection. The location and heading of the simulated aircraft will be displayed with an orange icon when settings completed and a network connection established. You can switch Tracking Mode (auto scrolling) by airplane button. Other map manipulations are same as the standard “Maps” application.

MULTI-DEVICE CONNECTION

You can connect up to four iPhone/iPad devices running multiple X-Mappers at the same time. Download and install X-Mapper Lite for each device.

Pros and cons of X-Mapper Lite (for X-Plane Desktop) app for iPhone and iPad

X-Mapper Lite (for X-Plane Desktop) app good for

Great, man!!! Congratulations!!! The X-Mapper for X-Plane FS is amazing for IFR/VFR flight simulations. Also its very slight app! Just 599KB. Cheers!!! Im going to update to Pro version.

This app is highly recommended. I always use it with X-plane, specially when Im taxiing. I wish there is something similar (lite) for FSX. Thank you Asahi for your generosity !

Some bad moments

I tried to connect without success. I did all the steps, in xplane I can read, sending to a device ... Was successful, but nothing. Its sad because I want to buy pro version. :(

As I expected, it doesnt work and is overly complicated with ambiguous and contradicting instructions reading the Mac instructions versus the iPhone/iPad version. In the end I learn that I need to set up a little network to supposedly make this work. Nonsense! Glad I tried the lite version and didnt waste money!

Installing and configuration with x-plane 10 on windows 7 took literally less than 20 seconds. Although the functionality of this free app is (obviously ) quite limited, what it does, it does well. I was actually surprised by the accuracy of it. When I was taxiing I could really see where I was exactly. Great stuff

First off, this isnt a "game." X-Mapper was designed as a navigation aid while flying in X-Plane. And it does its job very well. I find it especially useful for navigating airport taxiways. Great job!

Would be nice to have the following with airplane icon. Heading, speed, and altitude. Right next to the icon.

This apps almost perfect. Just add the ability to also display the churned ground speed, heading, and altitude to the top or bottom of the map and youve got a winner compared to all of the other options out there. Foreflight and others are good but they are geared towards real world pilots and require a monthly subscription this ones great for sims but just needs a few more minor additions. Its they only one that also lets you control the plane! Great job.
