Flightplan is a Google Maps flight planning add-on for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. You can use Cockpit Map to take Google Maps in the cockpit with you to use real time terrain elevations, road maps, landmarks, satellite views and street view 3D imagery. Flightplan can also be used to create and share your own flight plans using an interactive drag-and-drop, Google Maps interface.
Download Flightplan and try it yourself – the link is at the bottom of the page. You can also download and fly any of our free flight plans just click the Downloads link at the top. Load them in MSFS World Map and you are ready to fly.
Happy Flying!
