Filing Flight Plan
I have a yoke-mounted iPad Mini using ForeFlight.
There are times when I strain to see fine detail, like frequencies, ATIS, ADS-B traffic info, etc.
It was frustrating until I found this trick. Now all is well with the world.
Go to SETTINGS
Select ACCESSIBILITY
Select ZOOM
Set Zoom switch to ON
Click on ZOOM REGION (on menu below) and set to FULL SCREEN ZOOM
Go back to Zoom Settings and click on ZOOM CONTROLLER
Select SHOW CONTROLLER
A Zoom Controller button will appear on screen
Tap on the zoom controller button and you will see a zoom level slider
Adjust the slider on the Zoom Controller to the desired zoom level
Now tap on HIDE CONTROLLER
Tap anywhere on the screen and the Zoom Controller will disappear
Now double tap with three fingers anywhere on the screen and the screen will return to normal size
Whenever you desire, double tap on the screen with three fingers and your preset zoom level will activate
To move around within a given view, hold three fingers on the screen and move to desired section
To return the screen to normal size, double tap again using three fingers
This has been indispensable when using ForeFlight in the cockpit
