Where to put Little Navmap?

Does Little Navmap need to be on the 0S drive?

Or can it go anywhere? How about on the NVME SSD where FS 2020 is installed?

It can be loaded anywhere you desire. When building the databases - you will point it to your MSFS install.

Thanks! My C: drive is getting a little full to add anything.

What you have to do to have Little Navmap on the tool bar.
I see there is an application: https://github.com/bymaximus/msfs2020-toolbar-little-nav-map. But after I download, it does not appear on the tool bar

You download LNM , point it to your MS2020 install directory, run LNM , drop this file fs-base-ingamepanels-lnm into your community folder, then when you run MS2020 ,LNM will show in your tool bar, press it and you will see LNM moving map … Perfect.

actually got a question:

I want to have littlenavmap running on my main rig, then use little navconnect to another computer running littlenavmap. I got it to work, but I don’t know how to get the super detailed MSFS2020 scenery (ultra detailed airports for taxiing) to load on the other computer without installing the game on that computer as well. Is there a way to do that?

Mine shows in the toolbar but when the map opens there is a black screen, it doesn’t show the map, any suggestions? Thanks

I assume MSFS2020 runs on your suuuuperfast PC and you want to run LNM on your slow laptop …

On the PC:

    1. Install LNM on the PC (cause LNM needs to extract the navigation data from MSFS).
    1. LNM: Menu SceneryLibrary - Load SceneryLibrary
    1. LNM: Menu SceneryLibrary - Show Database Files
    1. Exit LNM, but dont uninstall, cause you need to re-extract scenery after next patch.
    1. copy the file “little_navmap_msfs.sqlite” from the folder opened in step 3.

On the laptop:

    1. Install LNM on the laptop
    1. LNM: Menu SceneryLibrary - Show Database Files
    1. Exit LNM.
    1. copy the file “little_navmap_msfs.sqlite” copied in step 5 to the folder opened in step 7.
    1. now you can use the navigation data from the PC on the laptop

Repeat the whole stuff after next patch

Make sure you have the webserver started under tools/options in LNM

That got it thanks! Should I be using 2.6.0 or 2.6.1? Both say they are beta. 2.4.5 is not beta… hmmmm

12

you want to be using the latest beta, since those are built for msfs

I make what you say on PC, but LNV don´t appear in the tool bar

    1. Install LNM on the PC. And I also install into: D\ … \MFS 2020
    1. LNM: Menu SceneryLibrary - Load SceneryLibrary
    1. LNM: Menu SceneryLibrary - Show Database Files
    1. Exit LNM, but dont uninstall, cause you need to re-extract scenery after next patch.
    1. copy the file “little_navmap_msfs.sqlite” from the folder opened in step 3. I copy into: D\ … \MFS 2020
