The toolbar sits at the top-left of the map. Drag it by the ⋯ handle and collapse it with the hamburger toggle. The language picker is in Settings. Each control persists its state to localStorage (see LocalStorage Schema).

Sections collapse to a single header row when closed; opening one closes the others (accordion). Each section's open / closed state survives a reload under navaid.sec.<name>.

Each header is a full-height row (52 px on a phone): a drawn icon, the title, a one-line hint of what is inside, and a chevron. Every entry inside a section has its icon in a fixed column, so the labels line up. The menus, the bottom bar and the map buttons share one icon set; the menus no longer use emoji.

8	Print	Page, PNG, plan card	A3 / A4 page frame, Landscape / Portrait toggle, Save PNG
9	Settings	Speed, variation, language, tables	Language, Default speed, Magnetic variation, then Freq table and Alt pairs, and the app version

Map and Settings used to be one section, View/Set. Settings now holds what you set once: the language, the default speed and the magnetic variation, followed by the two reference tables.

The Simulator is a small ✈ icon in the toolbar footer (next to Terms / Privacy) that opens the Simulator panel.

The ☰ is the only way in and out of the menus on a phone, and it used to scroll away with them — open Display, scroll to the bottom of a long section, and the control that closes it is above the top of the screen. The head row (grip, ☰, language) is now pinned to the top of the panel while the sections scroll underneath, and it is the same row the closed card shows, so opening the menu does not rearrange its own head.

Tapping the map closes the menu. On a phone the open column covers half the chart, so a tap on the map dismisses it — both the open section and the whole column collapse back to the ☰. Any map interaction counts, so starting a pan or dropping a waypoint clears the menu out of the way too.

Above the sections (on a phone, at the top of the menu sheet and of the Plan tab):

• 💾 Save route — names and saves the route. When the route came from your saved routes it reads Save with that route's name underneath, and an amber dot means it has changed since. Saving over it asks in the app: Save over it, Save as a new route…, or Cancel. Dimmed while there is nothing to save; pressing it says why.
• 📂 My routes — opens the saved-routes library; the badge is how many there are.

A route with unnamed end points (clicked on the map) is suggested a name from the nearest airfield or reporting point within 5 NM, or else "Route 28.09 11:52". On the desktop menubar the pair is compact — icon, dot and count, with words from 1440 px wide.

Control	What it does
✏️ Add waypoint (A)	Click the map to drop a waypoint (snaps to a published nav-WP or airfield if the overlay is on). Click the button again to leave Add mode.
📝 Add note (N)	Click the map to drop a free-text note (rectangle or oval shape, color picker in the inspector). Click again to leave Note mode.
🔍 Find (Ctrl-F)	Opens the floating search overlay. Type any airfield ICAO, nav-WP code, or partial name (English or Hebrew). Multi-token query (e.g. LLHZ BAZRA DEROR SHARO HADRA) + Enter builds a full route.
⇄ Reverse route (R)	Flips the waypoint order; swaps inbound / outbound altitudes per leg and rotates name labels 180°. Warns that a reversed route might not match allowed routes — the published network is directed, so corridors can be one-way. With no route drawn it says so instead. Unavailable once a turning point is marked: the route already flies out and back.
↶ Undo (Ctrl-Z)	Steps back the last edit, move, or delete.
🗑 Clear map (C)	Removes every waypoint and note after confirmation, and clears the print page frame with them.
⌖ Fit to screen (F)	Zooms the map so all waypoints are visible (capped so two close waypoints don't snap to a tight view).
↺ Reset all marker positions	Returns every leg's info-marker offset (heading / altitude / time kite) to its default spot.
↺ Reset all waypoint names	Sets each name to its nearest reference point, or clears it when off-grid.
🗑 Clear local store (danger)	Wipes all NavAid data on this device — saved routes, the current route, and settings — after confirmation, then reloads clean.

Control	What it does
Layer	Base map: CVFR / Navigation / Low Alt / Satellite / OpenStreetMap / OpenFlightMaps / World (Helicopters exists but is switched off on the live site — see Map Layers). Persists to navaid.layer. See Map Layers.
Show Waypoint Names	Toggles waypoint name labels (off = empty circle). The ⟳ button rotates the labels around the waypoint.
Show / Pin Navigation Waypoints	Overlays the 170 active Israeli VFR reporting points.
Show / Pin Airfields	Overlays the 27 published Israeli airfields.
Show VOR stations	Overlays Israeli VOR/DME stations. Marker visibility is independent from radial/DME calculations.
VOR ref	Selects the VOR used for map, inspector and Flight Plan radial/DME readouts. Stays visible even when VOR markers are hidden.
Show cumulative time	A running total-flight-time kite after each leg.
Show drift lines	10° drift reference lines at each leg end (thickness from the Drift line width slider).
Show/Add Freq Changes	Creates / restores lightning callouts, with call sign and frequency, for route waypoints on known ATC-change reporting points. Default: on.
Snap to nearest point (Force snap)	Every click snaps to the nearest airfield or nav-waypoint regardless of distance (otherwise an 18 px radius).
🧭 Route direction	Which direction's leg kites to draw: both, outbound only, or return only. Filters the kites and their cumulative arrows — the route line, distance badges and drift lines always stay. Dimmed until the route has a turning point, since there is nothing to divide; it then reads Not relevant (the kites underneath keep their filter: outbound for a route with no turn). With a turn, only the three real choices are offered.
Show return path	Off by default and hidden. It mirrored a one-way route to picture the way home; with a turning point the route already contains its return, so the mirror was redundant. The code is intact — set featureShowReturn in the tuning gist (or the ?tune=1 panel) to bring back the control, its B shortcut and the drawing.
Show leg distance	A small distance badge in the middle of each leg.
Highlight altitude / speed diff	Highlights legs whose altitude or speed differs from the adjacent leg.
Show mandatory reports	Badges route waypoints that are mandatory (חובה) reporting points.
Keep kites inside leg	Constrains per-leg info markers (kites) to stay within their leg.
Show MSA	Shows the minimum-safe-altitude row on each leg.
🔍 Magnifying glass (M)	Opens a loupe at the cursor (opens at 1× — detail only; raise its zoom slider to magnify). + / − adjust the loupe zoom while it's on. See Features.

A floating map legend (airfield, military airfield, compulsory and on-request reporting points, hotspot and VOR station) sits at the bottom-left of the map. It's UI-only and not exported to PNG.

Control	Effect
Light mode	Light theme is the default; this toggles dark ⇄ light (persisted to navaid.theme).
Label opacity	Background opacity of waypoint and leg labels.
Map opacity	Brightness of the base-map tiles (on screen and in PNG export).
Waypoint size	Scale of the waypoint circle and name label.
Leg arrow size	Scale of the leg indicator (heading / altitude / time).
Leg line width	Route line thickness.
Drift line width	Thickness of the 10° drift reference lines.

A hidden Tuning Panel (?tune=1) exposes every drawing constant. See Tuning Panel.

Control	What it does
🧭 Templates	Opens the route-templates picker: choose a ready-made route, set a cruise speed, Build route (replaces the current route after confirmation).
📋 NOTAM list	Full active-NOTAM text list (decoded, with a Raw toggle). Appears once NOTAM data loads.
⚠ AIRMET	List of active IMS AIRMETs for the Tel Aviv FIR, built the same way. Dimmed, saying why when tapped, while none is active; tapping an AIRMET area on the map opens it. See Extra layers.
⚠ SIGMET	List of active international SIGMETs for this FIR and its neighbours (NOAA). Built like the NOTAM list: a Raw / Decoded switch, an Updated line and one card per warning. Dimmed, saying why when tapped, while none is active. See Extra layers.
🌬 Wind/temp charts	In-app viewer for the IMS PWX wind/temp chart by flight level + valid time.
🌐 SIGWX charts	In-app viewer for the IMS significant-weather chart by valid time.
Route check	Checks visible route legs for airspace, NOTAM and weather findings, with expandable categories and nearby weather reports. See Route check.
📐 Flight planning form	The paper flight-planning form, filled from the route. Like the flight plan, it needs legs: with none it says "No legs yet — drop at least two waypoints first" and opens nothing. See Planning Form.
🗺️ Airport charts	Charts modal: accordion of airfields, each expands to plates grouped by category (Approach / SID / STAR / Ground / VFR / Other). Click a plate to open the in-app PDF viewer.
📋 LSA bubbles	Lists the LSA airspace bubbles; click one to zoom to it. Only shown on the Low Alt layer while Show LSA bubbles is on. See Extra layers.
Offline CVFR	Shows checking/progress/ready status and opens the offline sheet. Downloads only missing CVFR tiles (default zooms 7–13), prioritizing the route. Other base layers are online-only. See Offline and PWA.

The order follows Extra layers: Templates first, then the NOTAM list, AIRMET, SIGMET, the wind/temperature and significant-weather charts — the same order Extra layers lists their map layers — then route check, the planning form, airport charts, the LSA list, the mosaic and offline download. The Flight plan is not in this menu: it has its own menubar item, so the same command is not listed twice.

The NOTAM, SIGMET and AIRMET lists move by their title bar and open again where you left them (remembered per language). All three also resize from their bottom-right corner, and remember that size. Clicking a card with an area closes the list, turns its map layer on and frames the area.

Control	What it does
Language	English / עברית. Also offered at first start (the terms screen), so a pilot who reads neither menu can still switch.
Default speed (kt)	Seed speed for a leg with no earlier leg to copy from — set it once for your aircraft. Drives the defaultLegSpeedKt tuning key and outranks the remote config, so it survives a reload. Accepts 20–400; anything else snaps back to the value in force. Persists to navaid.defaultSpeed. ↻ beside it returns to the default — the gist's speed if it sets one, else the built-in — and moves the legs that follow it; dimmed when the default is already in force.
Magnetic variation	Automatic (World Magnetic Model at the aircraft / route / map centre, offline) or Manual (whole degrees, E or W, read as a chart writes it: 5 E). The fields always show the value in force — read-only in Automatic, with where it was taken in the tooltip. Persists to navaid.magVarAuto / navaid.magVarManual; outranks the gist.
📡 Freq table	Searchable editor for local frequency defaults — override any call sign's frequency, reset a row, or restore originals. See Frequency Changes.
🧭 Alt pairs	Searchable table of the learned CVFR altitude pairs; Copy JSON to clipboard.
Pressure unit	inHg or hPa. The in-flight strip shows the QNH in it (29.91″ / 1013 hPa); METAR and airfield lines keep both scales with the chosen one first; the cabin pressure in the GPS details follows it. Syncs with the other pilot settings (navaid.pressureUnit; gist default defaultPressureUnit, inHg).
Altitude from	GPS (corrected to indicated, as before) or Barometer + QNH — the phone's pressure sensor with the QNH the app already fetches, the altimeter's own sum 145366 × (1 − (p / QNH)^0.19) ft. The in-flight altitude and the altitude alerts follow it. Without a fresh reading (5 s) or a QNH it falls back to GPS. Not for a pressurised cabin. Device-local (navaid.altSource; gist defaultAltSource, gps).
(separator)	Above: the pilot's and the app's settings. Below: the aircraft's numbers.
Gallons per hour / Taxi and takeoff (gal)	The aircraft's fuel figures, the same profile as the flight plan's (navaid.aircraft): a change in either place shows in the other.
V/S (ft/min)	The climb rate the vertical profile and the map's TOC are drawn with — not times or fuel, as the line under it says. Same value as the flight plan's (navaid.profileVS).
Show the tour	Plays the map tour again.
Screen brightness	(Android app) A slider for the cockpit at night, below the phone's own minimum if needed (a dark veil does the rest; in a browser the veil is all there is). Brightness: back to the phone's setting hands it back. Device-local (navaid.brightness). Gist: featureBrightness.
Connect Bluetooth GPS	(Android app, off by default — featureBleGps) An external GPS over Bluetooth LE (NMEA $..RMC/$..GGA). While it delivers, the phone's own fixes step aside and the GPS line shows BT. Dimmed, with its reason, outside the app.
App version	The installed version, and in the APK what an update is waiting for — see Offline and PWA.

Control	What it does
⬇ Export	A format dropdown — JSON (NavAid route + notes), GPX (GPS track), PLN (MSFS / P3D flight plan), or FDR (X-Plane replay). Filename is timestamped. See Print and Export.
⬆ Import	Loads a route from JSON / GPX / PLN (dispatched by file extension). Strict schema check for JSON; file size capped at 2 MB before parsing.
💾 Saved routes	Opens the route library to save / load / manage named routes and recorded GPS tracks. Saved routes and Recordings are framed separately, with a Show dropdown to narrow to one; every entry has a Profile button that draws it without loading it. Includes Sync with Google Drive (when configured) — backs up the library to the user's own private Drive app-data area. See Features.
🔗 Share route	Copies a shareable URL that encodes the route in the query string (≤ 64 waypoints). Named for what it shares: it sits beside Follow me, which shares a live position instead.
✈️ Open in Google Earth	Saves a .kml flythrough tour; prompts to open Pro (KML) or Web. See Google Earth.

Planning aids, layered on the map. Full detail in Extra layers.

Show AIRMETs	Overlays active IMS AIRMET hazard areas (Tel Aviv FIR: mountain obscuration, IFR, surface wind) as dotted polygons labelled by hazard. Dimmed while none is active. Tap an area to read it. Source: ims.gov.il.
Show SIGMETs	Draws every active SIGMET with a usable area (this FIR and its neighbours). Tap an area to read it. Off by default (defaultShowSigmet). Source: NOAA.
Show NOTAMs	Overlays active Israel-FIR NOTAMs (areas / lines / airport badges); click to read (decoded, with Raw toggle). Timeline slider scrubs by time; full list in Charts. Source: IAA Mobile AeroInfo.
Show wind effect	Per-leg wind arrows, route-wide wind readout, wind-triangle row in the leg inspector. Default route wind is calm (000/0, tunable).
Fetch wind	Pulls forecast winds aloft and sets a per-leg wind (midpoint + altitude).
Show wind field	Animated live winds-aloft field (~3000 ft) with altitude / time / opacity — anywhere in the world: the grid follows the map. See Extra layers.
Show wind/temp	Overlays the IMS PWX chart — all flight levels (FL030–FL180, default FL030), valid time auto-set to nearest now, opacity slider.
Show SIGWX	Overlays the IMS low-level significant-weather chart (map panel + table + header), base layer shows through in dark mode.
Airfield plates	Show airfield charts, then Which chart: circuits, training areas, CVFR entry/exit, helicopter entry/exit, comm-failure joining, or Aerodrome chart (תרשים שדה, 11 airfields). One type at a time, with a shared opacity. See Extra layers.
Show LSA bubbles	Overlays LSA airspace areas (bubbles) on the map. Low Alt layer only (hidden on other layers). Weekend / always types with distinct legend colours; the 📋 LSA bubbles list (Charts section) zooms to any bubble. See Extra layers.

Opened from the small plane icon in the toolbar footer — a vertical panel:

Control	What it does
Connect to simulator	Polls a local SimConnect bridge (e.g. Little NavMap / cvfr-bridge) for live aircraft position. Green when active.
Bridge URL	Bridge address (default http://localhost:2020).
Follow aircraft	Keeps the map centred on the live aircraft. Green when active.
Center on aircraft	One-shot recenter; flashes on click.

Control	What it does
A3 / A4 / A4×2	Toggles a printable page frame on the map (A4×2 = the A3 frame, saved as two A4 pages to tape together — see Print and Export). Click the same size again to remove the frame.
▭ / ▯	Toggles landscape / portrait. Persisted to navaid.pageOrient.
⬇ Save PNG	Opens the export-PNG modal: pick which overlays to print and the base layer. Live preview while the modal is open; cancel restores the original state.

• Zoom +/− and a rotation dial sit bottom-right (drag the dial for any bearing, tap to cycle 0 / 90 / 180 / 270°).
• The bottom-right coordinate readout is clickable — type or paste a coordinate to recentre the map (Go to coordinates).

App version (commit short SHA appended at deploy time), GitHub link, Wiki link, Issues / Requests link, and a Shortcuts button (or the ? key) that opens the keyboard-shortcuts cheat-sheet. The language picker is in Settings.

The footer also holds the GPS controls and the Simulator ✈ icon:

Control	What it does
⏺ Record	Records your flown path from the device GPS; the label becomes ⏹ Stop, which stores it as a track overlay in Saved routes. A live readout shows points · elapsed · ground speed · altitude. Showing a track now shows only one at a time, fits the map to it, and glows it amber for 10 s. See GPS track recording.
📍 Location	Shows your live own-ship on the map without recording; the label becomes Hide.
📵 Comm fail	Lost radio: routes to the nearest field with a published comm-failure procedure, turns its chart on and shows squawk 7600, the tower's phone and the light signals. Lit while on; a second press ends it (the label becomes End comm failure). On a phone it is icon-only. See Comm failure.
