Page Layout Tool
A Page Layout tool was added to the Editor Toggle toolbar. This tool allows you to create single-page charts, multiple-page area charts, and strip charts.

Doghouses
Doghouses, or Navigation Information Blocks (NIBs), are displayed for routes. You can show NIBs globally or on individual routes or route legs. A template editor is included as a stand-alone application so you can create custom NIBs. You can execute the application from Windows Explorer or from the doghouse properties dialog.

Time Hacks
Time tick marks can be added to a calculated route at any point (time hack) along that route. You can add time hacks globally or on individual routes or route legs. For example, you can place a time tick mark along a route where it passes over a map location, and you need to know the time at that point rather than estimating from multiple tick marks. You can also add comments to the time hack when you first create it or at a later time.

Map Data Manager Enhancements
The Map Data Manager (MDM) supports the simultaneous display of multiple map data types. In one operation you can check an area of interest for overlapping coverage by different map data types. A new Map Data Manager Toolbar supports copy and delete operations across multiple map scales and data sources.

SkyView Perspective Viewer
The 3-D perspective viewer, SkyView, provides a 3-D perspective view of an area, including any open overlays in FalconView.

Expanded Overlay Support
Support was added for two, static overlay types: Heliports and Parachute Jump Areas. The DAFIF Importer gives you the option of importing these databases from the DAFIF CD-ROM.

Lat-Long Grid Overlay Enhancements
The Lat-Long Grid overlay matches the grid found on CADRG maps, including tick marks and their spacing. You can control the line width, color, font, and other properties from the Lat-Long Grid page of the Overlay Options dialog. In addition, the Lat-Long Grid labels will rotate with the map.

External Application Support
Support was added for the integration of custom, external applications within FalconView. A custom toolbar displays a button for single-click access to the application. For more information regarding the integration of external applications within FalconView, see the section on “The FalconView Software Development Kit” below.
