Make your home airport easy to spot: it can blink in a marker colour, cycle through colours, or simply stay brighter while all other airports are dimmed.

1. Find your airport’s LED number #

1. Open your map’s page (see the steps in part 2) and, in the top menu, move the mouse over Airports and click Editor.
   
2. Find your airport in the Airport ID column and note the number in the Pin # column next to it. Only look; you don’t need to change or save anything on this page.
   

2. Turn on the home airport feature #

Open your map’s settings #

1. On a phone or computer that is on the same WiFi as your map, open a web browser.
2. Go to http://<map name>.local (the name you wrote down during the WiFi setup) or http://<IP address>, for example http://192.168.1.50. If you don’t know the IP address, see how to find the IP address of your PilotMap. Some Android phones can’t open .local names; use the IP address there.
3. In the menu at the top, move the mouse over Settings and click Editor.
   
4. Click a blue bar to open that group of settings.
   

1. Open Sectional Map Settings.
2. Set Turn On Home Airport Feature to Yes and enter your airport’s number in Home Airport Pin.
   
3. Choose how it is shown in Home Airport Type of Color Change:
   • No Change: your airport keeps its weather colour; it stands out because the others are dimmed (next step).
   • Variable Colors: your airport cycles through a set of colours.
   • Solid Color: your airport switches between its weather colour and a marker colour. The marker colour is Home Airport Marker Color under LED Colors Settings.
     
4. Homeport Dimming dims all other airports: 0 = no dimming, 100 = others completely off. Around 50 to 75 works well.

Save #

1. In the menu at the top, move the mouse over Settings and click Save Config File. You will see Settings Successfully Saved.
   
2. That’s it. The map restarts its weather display by itself and shows the new setting within a minute or two. While it restarts, the legend may show all green for a moment (that is the normal “starting” status). You don’t need to unplug it.

Tip: changes are only kept after Save Config File. If you close the page before saving, nothing changes.
