What's New

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

Version 1.2.3 added instructions to setup X-Plane 11. Note that using this application with X-Plane 11 is unsupported though you can still try it with certain settings for the mean time. X-Mapper Lite isn’t guaranteed to work with future versions of X-Plane 11 and no more supports multi-device connection.

As the release of this update, the support for X-Mapper Lite is discontinued. Instead, we are introducing a successor application “X-Mapper TNG” with formal support for X-Plane 11 and unlimited multiple device support. If you are using X-Plane 11 as well as X-Plane 10.40 or later, please try the alternative application for free.

–Tracing accurate traffic patterns for more efficient training.

HOW TO USE

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.
