I purchased Navigraph yearly but I need help. I downloaded it on my iPad but do I also download it on my pc? I am using x-plane 12 only. In other words what all do I download to get the iPad to communicate with x-plane? And exactly where do I download these? As you can tell I’m not real computer savvy\> I apologies if this is not the place to ask for help but I couldn’t figure out which one to post too. I have only begun learning about simulation.

Hi…,

Welcome.

I think you are trying to have Moving Map on your Charts iOS?

To do so, you need to download, install and run [Simlink](https://navigraph.com/downloads) on your PC only. This should install a small module into your X-Plane which sends your aircraft coordinates to our servers. When you load a chart in Charts iOS on your iPad, our servers place an aircraft icon on your chart where your X-Plane aircraft is located.

You may need to click on Moving Map icon in Charts iOS:

You can also see the same running Charts Desktop or Charts Cloud on your PC.

Cheers  
Ian
