Seattle
Avionics Software today announced the launch of GlassViewTM Moving
Map/EFB software. GlassView is the latest component tool for the new
Voyager Flight Software System. Pilots can select any or all of Voyager?s new
components: SmartPlanTM Premier flight planner, SmartPlan
Express flight planner, GlassView moving map,
SmartPlatesTM,
instrument procedure management program with Part 91-compliant FAA (NACO)
digital approach plates, or XM WX Weather®,
live,
in-cockpit weather. Regardless of which components are selected, they all
automatically integrate into a seamless single application custom-tailored to
each pilot?s needs.
One
of GlassView?s most innovative features is its ability to automatically
adapt to pilots? needs as their situation changes with phases of flight. For
example, in addition to showing basic GPS information, Voyager?s GlassView
moving map keeps you safe by automatically displaying nearest airport, navaid
and airspace information as your position changes and shows detailed airport and
procedure information as you approach your destination. Not just the data, but
also which type of data is displayed, and the program?s actual layout all
change, (?morph?) automatically as a flight progresses.
GlassView
always shows flight critical data while the GPS positioned plane moves across
geo-referenced charts to give pilots unmatched situational awareness during
enroute and approach operations. When integrated with SmartPlates,
GlassView also provides crisp, digital Part 91 compliant NACO terminal and
approach procedures for all 50 states. When GlassView is integrated with
Voyager?s SmartPlan Premier flight planner, one click toggles from flight
planning mode into enroute/moving map mode.
When
GlassView?s easy to use interface and phase-of-flight intelligence is
combined with the power of Voyager Flight Planner?s SmartRouter®,
you have a truly unique and powerful combination unparalleled in the aviation
industry. When XM WX Weather and SmartPlates are integrated with
GlassView, you have better functionality than a glass cockpit on your kneeboard
for a fraction of the initial and ongoing cost of panel-mount systems.
As Robert
Hamilton, Seattle Avionics Software V.P. of Marketing puts it; ?We avoided
making an interface that just duplicated old technology, and created a whole new
look that maximizes usability, providing the most information in the easiest,
most accessible format.?
Current
Voyager Premier customers will receive the GlassView Moving Map/EFB
component free of charge with their current annual NavData subscription.
