Just that?
So many other landmarks that can be observed near by!
Why you don't post the map view of the plan?

Good suggestion; I appreciate receiving feedback.
To answer: Adding a lot of POIs would be outside of the scope of my plans.
To explain:
I have many years of experience with a variety of simulators, so I can easily navigate anywhere. But I noticed that most downloadable flight plans are for commercial flights or they are general aviation plans that are packed with many waypoints and points of interest.
Where are the plans for beginner flyers and occasional flyers who want to simply take off, follow visual waypoints for a short distance to see something, and then land? There are very few of those plans.
So my criteria for my plans are:
I started creating the plans just two months ago, and there have been nearly 9,000 downloads, which suggests that there indeed is a demand for these types of plans.
