    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

    • Live Wikipedia Integration: Click on any city, town, or village on the map to instantly see its description and photo.
    • Technical Airport Discovery: Identify any airport to view ICAO/IATA codes, elevation, ownership, and technical infoboxes.
    • High-Detail Moving Map: Powered by OpenStreetMap (OSM) for smooth, accurate, and up-to-date worldwide navigation.
    • Pure Gauge Architecture: Runs 100% inside the MSFS 2024 tablet. No external .exe servers, no background apps, and no performance-heavy dependencies required.
    • Remote News Feed: Integrated support and news button to keep you updated on the latest features.

    - 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

    1. Extract the ZIP file.
    2. Drop the SimWikiMap folder into your MSFS 2024 Community Folder.
    3. Launch any aircraft with an EFB and look for the "SimWikiMap" icon.

    - IMPORTANT NOTE

    • COMPATIBILITY: This mod is built for the MSFS 2024 tablet architecture. It is NOT compatible with MSFS 2020.
    • INTERNET: An active internet connection is required to stream map tiles and Wikipedia data.

    - CREDITS

    • Map Data: © OpenStreetMap contributors.
    • Content: Wikipedia and Wikidata.
    • Logic: Powered by Overpass API and Nominatim.

    ok i was stuck but now i got it working, the instructions here wasn't that clear IMO. reading the readme.txt was much better.


    2. INSTALLATION
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. Locate your Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 "Community" folder.
    - PC Store: %LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community
    - Steam: C:\Users\[YourName]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Packages\Community

    2. Extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP file.

    3. Copy the folder named "SimWikiMap" directly into
    your Community folder.

    4. Ensure the structure looks like this:
    /Community/SimWikiMap/manifest.json
    /Community/SimWikiMap/layout.json

    3. HOW TO USE
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. Launch MSFS 2024 and start a flight.
    2. Open the Tablet and look for the "SimWikiMap" icon on the home screen.
    3. Once the map loads, you can click on any city, town, or airport
    to trigger a "Scan."
    4. A panel will slide up with Wikipedia information, photos, and
    technical details about that location.
    5. Click the "NEWS & SUPPORT" button at any time to see the latest
    updates or support information.

    That’s strange. The map works fine on my side. Maybe try it on another computer or ask a friend to test it.

    Great idea, and it installed without problems, but in the EFB app I am getting Access blocked, with code 403r "Referer is required by tile usage policy of OSM.
    Any ideas?

    Cool 🤣 Thanks a lot for the compliment! Necessity is the mother of invention. Curiosity and sometimes boredom during long flights made me create this mod for myself, and instead of keeping it hidden I decided to share it with everyone.
