| The CustomDraw Map Guidebook documents use of the XML map variables available in FS9 and FSX and key differences between the two versions. This guidebook is a companion to the FS9GPS Module guidebook released in 2011.

| In addition to the XML map variables, the guide discusses calibration of CustomDraw map and XML gauge scales so the following types of applications are possible:
| |
|
| |
| - Transform mouse X and Y into longitude and latitude
| |
| - Create map overlays for the CustomDraw base
| |
| - Coordinate rotation for TrackUp=1
| |
| - TAWS map
| |
| - TCAS map overlay using ITrafficInfo variables
| |
| - Mouse click distance, bearing, latitude and longitude
| |
| - Nearest search centered on a mouse click point rather than user's aircraft
| |
| - Add a flight plan waypoint by mouse click
| |
| - Stationary Map vs. Moving Map
| |
|
| |
| A fully functional XML gauge is also available that demonstrates all of the above applications. The example gauge requires installation of Tom Aguilo’s XMLVars which can be freely downloaded from:
