Changing your map style

CAVacars 2 uses the same map style as the CAV website. You pick the style once on your website profile, and both the website maps and the CAVacars 2 live map use it.

Available map styles

  • Dark Simple: a clean, minimal dark map. This is the default.
  • Dark Detailed: a dark map with more roads, labels and terrain detail.
  • Light Detailed: the light version of Dark Detailed. Good for daytime flying or bright rooms.
  • OSM Bright: a colourful light map that looks like a classic road map, with parks, water and roads easy to tell apart.
  • Satellite (Topo): satellite imagery with topographic detail.

Changing your map style

  1. Log in to the CAV website.
  2. Open the menu under your name in the top right and choose Edit Profile.
  3. Scroll to Map Style and select the style you want.
  4. Click Update Profile to save.
  5. Restart CAVacars 2 so it loads your new map style.

Your choice also applies to the maps on the website, such as the live flights map and your PIREP route maps.
