There’s a particular kind of pilot who can’t help but wonder about the world scrolling beneath their wings. Not just where they are, but what is there. That town hugging the river bend: how old is it? That airstrip cut into the plateau: who owns it? For that pilot, SimWikiMap is the add-on they didn’t know they were waiting for.
Released on flightsim.to as a free Community folder drop, SimWikiMap is a simple curiosity engine that gives MSFS simmers some insights about the world below, just with a click!
SimWikiMap lives entirely inside the MSFS 2024 EFB tablet. There’s no external executable, no background server, no SimConnect dependency. The interface is a high-detail moving map powered by OpenStreetMap tile data, which means the cartography is current, globally consistent, and sharp at close range.
The magic happens when you tap. Click on any city, town, or village marker and the panel surfaces a Wikipedia summary alongside a representative photo. Click on an airport and you get an instant technical briefing: ICAO and IATA identifiers, field elevation, ownership classification, and the full Wikipedia infobox where available. It’s a quick cockpit browser for the world beneath you, and without ever feeling like one.
Perfect for Career Mode
MSFS 2024’s Career Mode sends you to corners of the world you’d never choose to visit on your own. A cargo hop across the Saharan interior, a medevac into a plateau airstrip in the Andes. These routes are geographically rich, but the sim gives you almost no context for what you’re flying over. SimWikiMap fills that gap naturally. On a long cruise segment, when you’d otherwise be watching the autopilot hold altitude, you can trace your groundtrack on the map and tap the towns below. It turns dead time into discovery and help you spend time while the aircraft cruises peacefully across the world.
SimWikiMap earns its place not through complexity but through clarity of purpose. It knows exactly what it is: a curiosity tool for the virtual tourist pilot. And executes that idea with a clean, zero-friction implementation. It’s really cool, and it’s totally free!
You can download SimWikiMap for free at Flightsim.to.
