Using the Flight Map (Routes, Places & Airport Cards)

The Map Always Matches Your Selected Time Period

The Dashboard map is fully linked to the active time period filter.

This means:

• Selecting All Time shows all routes you have ever flown

• Selecting a Year shows only routes flown that year

• Selecting a Month focuses on a single month

• Selecting a Custom Period displays only flights inside that range

Whenever the time period changes, the map updates automatically.

Routes Displayed Across the World

IPL plots your flights directly on the map as route lines between departure and arrival places.

This gives you an immediate view of:

• Your global flying footprint

• Regional activity over a specific period

• Seasonal route patterns

• Airline or training network evolution

The map is not just decorative — it is a true navigation tool for your logbook.

Airports and Places Are Clickable

Each airport or place included in the selected period appears on the map as an interactive marker.

Place Labels (IATA or ICAO)

Each place marker on the map displays an airport code directly on the annotation.

Depending on your Display Options in Settings, IPL can show:

• IATA codes (e.g. CDG, JFK), or

• ICAO codes (e.g. LFPG, KJFK)

This choice applies across the entire app, including Dashboard maps and all module-specific map views.

When you tap a place, IPL opens an information card showing:

• Airport name and location

• ICAO / IATA codes

• The currently selected time period

• Key local statistics for that place

This allows you to explore your logbook geographically.

Airport Statistics in the Place Card

The airport card provides quick operational insight, such as:

• Number of takeoffs

• Number of landings

• Activity limited to the selected time period

For example:

• “12 takeoffs and 12 landings this year from LFPG”

• “3 landings in the last 90 days at EBCI”

This makes it easy to understand how frequently you operate at specific airports.

Viewing Flights for a Place

Each place card includes an info (i) button.

Tapping this button opens the list of all logbook entries associated with:

• That airport

• The currently selected time period

This list is displayed in the same format as the main logbook, allowing you to immediately review the flights behind the numbers.

Example:

• Tap “Barcelona (LEBL)”

• Tap (i)

• See every flight involving LEBL in the selected period

The Map as an Exploration Tool

The Dashboard map is designed to work alongside statistics:

• Stats tell you what you have flown

• The map shows you where you have flown

• Place cards connect geography with operations

• Entry lists provide full logbook traceability

This creates a unique way to explore your aviation history visually, while always remaining grounded in real logbook records.

Map Views Across IPL Modules

The map is not limited to the main Dashboard.

Throughout IPL, many modules include a summary bar (People, Places, Aircraft, Certificates…).

When you tap the summary bar, IPL opens a map-based view filtered to:

• That specific person, place, aircraft, or qualification

• The currently selected time period

This allows consistent exploration everywhere in the app.
