The aviation maps certainly have all the information needed for flying to the extent of being too cluttered and difficult to read. What I often wish for is an old fashioned auto road map with the airports listed and not all the extra clutter. Towns, attractions, rivers, lakes and mountains are easy to pick out and great for IFR...in this case I FOLLOW ROADS.

Has anybody ever seen a map like this? How about an aviation GPS with a rotating knob that is marked with "Less Clutter"-"More Clutter"?

Darick, I concur! I fly with state road maps that I pick up at the state visitor centers when crossing borders by car. Not the most efficient solution but they stay in my flight bag so I can correlate with sectionals (I keep old Sectionals and WACs for initial planning...current charts on my iFly 740). I've thought about buying the road map add-on for my iFly for that very reason, but you can't run both aviation charts and road maps at same time. Unfortunately, I dont use them much because I'm not flying much due to my wife's stage 4 cancer. Someday I'll do more. But, am interested in hearing how others meet this need.

I have an old Captain's Atlas but I think they are out of print. I found this product online, but I haven't used it.
