INAV Configurator 2.1 allows you to choose between OpenStreetMap, Bing Maps (Aerial View), and MapProxy map providers. INAV Configurator is shipped WITHOUT API key for Bing Maps. That means: every user who wants to use Bing Maps has to create their own account, agree to all Terms and Conditions required by Bing Maps, and configure INAV Configurator by himself.
INAV provides the font images so that custom fonts can be created for your personal preference. This is the case for both analogue and digital fonts. The resources can be found in the osd folder. Within the analogue and digital subfolders, you will find information on compiling your own fonts. There is also an INAV Character Map document. This contains previews of all the character images in the fonts and the appropriate variable names within the firmware and Configurator. There are tools for compiling the analogue and digital fonts. New font submissions via pull requests are welcome.
Make sure Settings -> System -> "User hardware acceleration when available" is checked to achieve the best performance
