This release corrects an issue with the enroute themes not showing as expected.
October 31, 2016
FliteDeck Pro 2.9 introduces a control bar that more aligns with your work flow. You no longer need to switch first between the Terminal Charts View and the Enroute View before you interact with the information you need most. The integrated design of the control bar provides you with direct access to your terminal charts for the active flight, as well as identifies the enroute theme that will display when you switch to the enroute map by tapping the button.
The refreshed design also includes a new location of the Present Position button which is now on the enroute map itself. As always, tapping the Present Position button re-centers the map over your aircraft position whenever you have panned away.
