Notam Globe Product Updates: Partial Taxiways, Geolocation, and Full-Screen Mode

We have shipped three important upgrades to Notam Globe that make airport-surface NOTAM review much more practical in day-to-day use:

• Partial taxiway support for segment-level closures
• Geolocation so pilots can quickly see where they are on the airport
• Full-screen mode for a cleaner, more focused map workflow

These changes are especially useful at dense airports, where a single taxiway NOTAM can affect only part of a route and where spatial context matters more than raw text alone.

They also build directly on a feature we shipped recently: Notam Globe Gets Affected Elements for Airports, Runways, and Taxiways. That release made graphical NOTAMs much more operational by letting users jump between affected elements on the airport surface. This new update pushes that idea further with more precise taxiway geometry, live geolocation, and a better focused viewing mode.

Partial Taxiways Now Render as Closed Ranges

This is one of the most important improvements we have made to the globe.

Airports frequently issue NOTAMs like:

TWY DD BTN TWY B AND TWY N CLSD

Until now, these kinds of notices were difficult to represent precisely because the closure applies to a range of the taxiway, not the entire surface. Notamify now properly calculates the closed segment and shows that exact range on the map.

That means a taxiway such as TWY DD can be displayed as closed only between TWY B and TWY N, instead of being treated as a generic or whole-taxiway restriction. This is a major step forward for understanding surface movement constraints at large airports.

For pilots and dispatchers, the benefit is simple: you can now see exactly which part of the taxiway is unavailable, without mentally reconstructing the restriction from text.

Geolocation on the Airport Map

We also added geolocation to Notam Globe.

This allows pilots to quickly locate themselves on the airport map and compare their current position against nearby closures, restrictions, and affected elements. When you are moving on a complex airfield, that extra orientation can make the globe much faster to work with.

Please note that Notamify is not a certified eFB application.

Full-Screen Mode for Better Focus

The third update is full-screen mode.

When reviewing a dense airport, space matters. Full-screen mode gives the map more room and removes some of the visual competition from the surrounding interface, so you can focus on affected elements and navigation controls.

This works particularly well together with the affected-elements navigation we released recently. You can move through closures and restrictions with a much clearer view of the airport surface.

Why These Updates Matter

Notam Globe is becoming more than a generic spatial viewer. With affected elements, partial taxiway ranges, geolocation, and a focused full-screen workflow, it is moving closer to what pilots and operations teams actually need during airport-surface review:

• precise closure visualization
• faster orientation on the airport
• less time spent translating text into a mental map

We will keep improving this area, especially for airport-surface NOTAMs where small geometry details can have outsized operational impact.

As always, Notamify is an informational tool and must not replace official briefing sources or approved operational systems.
