  • Easily view and copy coordinates for waypoints, airports, and more in any of ForeFlight’s supported formats, including variations of the standard degrees format as well as the MGRS format.
  • To view or copy a map element’s coordinates while it’s selected on the map, tap Coordinates in the Maps sidebar and choose from the six formats shown.
  • To view or copy a map element’s coordinates from the Add to Route window after tap-holding on the map, tap More on the right and then tap Copy to access the same list of coordinates. 
  • You can also view or copy an airport's coordinates from the Airports view by scrolling to the Details section of the Info tab, tapping Features, then tapping the Copy button next to Location to see the coordinate format.
  • Additionally, you can now paste coordinates of any format into different places within ForeFlight to convert them to your default format and display them properly, including in the Search bar and when using the Replace, Insert Before, and Insert After options after tapping any waypoint in your route. Pasting coordinates directly into the FPL Editor is not yet supported, however.
  • The Coordinate Formats menu also includes a link at the bottom to the appropriate Settings page to change your default coordinate format, in More > Settings > Units/Time > Coordinates.
  • These expanded coordinate functions are available with ForeFlight Premium and MFB One subscription plans.
