To enable the new airways on the Aeronautical Map, toggle the Helicopter option in Aeronautical Map Settings > Airway Settings with either the VFR or IFR Low Aeronautical Mode selected.
Your airway settings are automatically saved, ensuring your preferences are retained for future flights.

A new instrument lets you easily view the minimum off route altitude (MORA/LSALT) in feet for your location with or without the green map overlay enabled.
Tap on any slot in the ForeFlight Instrument Panel and scroll to the Standard section at the top of the list to find the Grid MORA (Grid LSALT in Australia) instrument.
The MORA/LSALT grid itself can be enabled as a map overlay using the toggle at the bottom of the Aeronautical Settings list.

You can add the Latin America region to your ForeFlight subscription via the ForeFlight website and select countries in More > Downloads > Region Settings to download charts.
