ForeFlight’s Aeronautical Map layer now supports additional types of airfield and navaid markers. Glider and balloon fields in the U.S. are marked on the map using magenta icons containing the letters G and B, respectively. Toggle these fields on or off using the “Other Fields” setting in Map Settings > Airports. TACAN navaids are also now shown on the map using a similar icon to VORTACs.

Also, the Synthetic Vision button in the Maps toolbar has a new look to better distinguish it from the adjacent Instrument Panel button.
