At the moment, Charts only displays the fix to fix distance, but not the cumulative distance. Could an option be added to show cumulative distance as well, so that it is possible to see the total flight plan distance at a glance?
Hello! Thanks for the feedback!
This will definitely be made more visible with future updates, but in the meantime this value is already provided in the “Options” tab of your flight:
Is this what you are looking for?
Kind Regards,

I see this post was actually created based on an answer to this topic:
Based on your answer there, I am confused. You say that the value just showed in my previous post is not what you are looking for - but you also say this:
… which is exactly what that value is.
Could you clarify what you mean by cumulative? Do you mean that you would like the cumulative distance for each leg?
Kind Regards,
Malte
I’m sorry for the confusion! What I’m requesting is not the proposed telemetry, but essentially both moving the cumulative distance you just posted to the route bar, and adding a cumulative leg distance.
Though, to be completely honest, I had completely blanked about that flight plan page distance display!
I see! While I find it highly unlikely that cumulative distance per leg will make it into the route pill widget due to the limited available space, it does sound like your idea would be covered by the navlog feature, which we will add in the future!
Here is the related wishlist topic if you want to vote for it!
Do you agree that this kind of feature would likely cover your needs?
Kind Regards,

I agree, this would cover exactly what I need (as long it is for IFR as well)

Sounds good! Yes, it should be available for IFR as well, of course.
Now that the topics are linked together, I will leave this one unlisted on our forum so that we make sure to cover it when the time comes for the navlog feature! Thank you for the feedback!
Kind Regards,
Malte
