It has the capability of updating the saved maps by eliminating the outdated version and putting recent versions of landouts. It creates automated curve lines of different glide elevations that can be used to ensure natural planning. It can produce different outputs such as printed versions of maps at sectional scales which also includes automated map legends.

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .gpn. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.leave a comment
