Destinations Map 1.0.0

Destinations Map for phpVMS v7
 

Destinations Map is a lightweight, modern module for phpVMS v7 that helps pilots explore where they can fly from any origin, discover direct and connecting destinations, and quickly review matching schedules.

It also features a comprehensive ACARS Flight Board to display live flights that can be toggled on or off.

Built to drop into any phpVMS v7 site, tested with Seven/Beta themes in a vanilla phpVMS installation

Thanks to the phpVMS community for the inspiration. Enjoy exploring your network with Destinations Map!
