    Little NavMap EFB Client - Image 1

    Description

    Simple client/app to display Little NavMap in the ingame EFB.

    Work in progress.

    Current features:

    • Three Map modes:
      • Center on aircraft
      • Flightplan
      • Free look
    • Zoom in/out
    • Move up/down/left/right
    • Performance Settings:
      • Jpeg quality
      • Resolultion
      • Update interval

    Requirements
    Little NavMap (https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap) with turned on Webserver (Menu->Tools->Run Webserver. The EFB app will then connect to it automatically.)

    To install, simply extract it to your community folder.

    Infos/Faq:

    • 404 Error in route mode: Create a flight plan in LNM.
    • 404 Error in center mode:
      • Connect LNM to flight simulator (Tools->Connect).
      • Start a flight! (This mode does't work in Sim Main Menu)
      • Refresh by moving left/right.
    • Stutters every 1second (or update interval): try decrease Setting->Resolution.
    • Blank screen: Make sure the LNM Webserver is activated.

     

    This app is only a client of LNM as "Little Navmap can deliver map images, [...]" (https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/WEBSERVER.html#web-developers)

    Many thanks to Alex (albar965), the creator of Little NavMap, for providing this great software for free! (https://albar965.github.io/donate.html)

    SU7 seems to break the rendering of the map.
    I uploaded a possible fix. (Download-> Select version "SU7 rendering error: testing workaround")
    I have limited time to test, so feedback welcome.

    It works! I was having trouble with SU7 and came here to see if there was an update. The fix works. Rendering is back to normal and the wheel mouse zooms in and out as expected. Thank you!

    Thank you very much! Großartigen Dank!
    One small (I hope so) suggestion to make it work in all circumstances: Please add an easy-to-access option; if not directly in the app client, maybe as an easily editable *.js or *.txt to add your HTTPS, computername or IP and port where your Little Navmap program is running, instead of using only "localhost:8965" as a source. I run almost all peripherals and additional apps on a remote computer on my network and use only "Little Navconnect" on my Sim system.
    I edited line 3749 in \html_ui\efb_ui\efb_apps\TemplateApp\TemplateApp.js to match my LNM host computer. I found the solution easily by searching for "localhost:8965" in your files.
    This would make it work in almost every thinkable network environment. It would even allow the use of the map of someone else, who is hosting his Navmap on a public IP. This would allow an easy use case for mass online flights, e.g. like Bushdrivers do, and a client doesn't even have to install LNM to get a working chart.

    Nice fix :) Glad you found a quick solution!

    Yeah, the hostname and port should definitely be configurable.
    Can probably put then in the settings page easily.
    Haven't set my machine up for developing currently though.
    Will add it to the to-do list and hopefully find some time to get into msfs scripting again...

    It is a great idea to integrate NavMap in the EFB, but is it possible to use the 2024 version in MSFS 2020 ?
    I do not get the extra tab on the EFB in my FBW Airbus A 320

    Im afraid that is not possible as the FBW EFB is quite a different system to the build in Msfs2024 EFB.

    This is "must have" app for GAmod users to see AI OFFLINE traffic around you in EFB. Thanks!

    Very useful, but only seems to work with an unencrypted connection. Can you release a version that works with encryption enabled (Tools / Options / Webserver / Use encrypted connection)?

    Thanks! I'm a bit out of the loop currently with this project. Hope to find some time in the darker months again to apply all the suggestions ;)
    As a hotfix for you, you could test changing "http" to "https" in file ...\Community\lkm-lnm-efb-app\html_ui\efb_ui\efb_apps\TemplateApp\TemplateApp.js (about line 3749 or use search).
    This would hopefully use the https/encrypted LNM version, if msfs supports that.

    Wow! Thank you SO much for this! I've just started flying 2024 in VR, and was looking for a way to see roads and city names. This is the perfect solution, and it works great!
