Moving map GPS for the price of a dinner!

Air Navigation is a real-time aircraft moving map navigation application for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It contains free maps of the entire world as well as official aviation charts for many countries. The application costs a fraction of the price of a dedicated portable aviation GPS. see it in action


Worldwide database

Air Navigation comes fully loaded with worldwide aviation waypoints (more than 160000). The database also contains airspace information for many countries. By using the database and maps, you can quickly plan your route, distance and estimated time of flight.

Real aircraft instruments

Air Navigation imitates real aircraft instruments, gathering information from GPS to create realistic images. With Air Navigation you will not only get a 2D moving map* but also a 3D synthetic vision*, terrain awareness*, realistic images of instruments such as HSI, VOR, ADF to name but a few.

Features included

Air Navigation has many other features such as an automatic logbook, a flight track recorder, a bridge to the X-Plane simulator, an import/export module to backup, restore or insert your own data. etc. You can find a detailed list of these in the "features" section of the website


*2D Moving map : free maps available, commercial charts available as inapp purchase.
*3D Synthetic vision and Terrain awareness: requires commercial 3D data, available as inapp purchase.

Air Navigation key features

MOVING MAP


Moving map displays nearby navigation flight paths as well as airfields. Free official maps and charts are all downloadable from the application. The software supports standard IOS gestures for zoom in/out and pan and centre. It also supports north orientation and track orientation. When available, airspaces are displayed on overlay to help plan your route. A route or direct path is displayed as a magenta vector (great circle / shortest path).

NAVIGATION PLANNING


Multiple stopover navigation flight plan editor shows graphical input on flight paths from maps or database. A route can be displayed on the moving map as vectors. It will calculate next flight path, distance, track and heading. ETE and ETA is calculated from your current speed while in-flight, or from intended cruise speed and wind information entered when you established your flight plan.

INSTRUMENTS


Air Navigation imitates real aircraft instruments, gathering information from GPS to create realistic images. You will not only get a moving map, but also instruments such as HSI, VOR, ADF, ground speedometer, altimeter and compass. The navigation instruments work not only with specific flight paths, but also with airports, check points, IFR points etc.

FREE MAPS


Free downloads are available of open source map background based on the well- known OpenstreetMap project. Aeronautical information such as flight paths and airports are overlaid on the display. When available we will also display airspace information on the moving map. Map data will be stored on your device so you don't need an internet connection, unlike other map applications.

OFFICIAL MAPS


Free maps are useful, but nothing can replace an official aeronautical chart. Our map store has various official ICAO aviation charts for 10 European countries, sectional charts for the US and aviation charts for New Zealand. We also plan to introduce Visual Approach charts as geo referenced documents and PDFs for Germany and France. Other countries will be available soon.

DATABASE


The built-in database contains more than 160000 worldwide aviation waypoints including airports, heliports, navigational aids, check points and IFR points. A simple touch on the moving map screen gives you information such as runway length and orientation, frequencies, elevation and much more. Airspace vectors are also displayed on the moving map screen and can be touched to get information such as Airspace class, name, lower limit, upper limit, etc.

FLIGHT RECORDER


Once switched on and a block-off time set (either manually or automatically), the flight recorder will start recording your GPS position and altitude. It will stop when block-on time is set. Back at home, you can process the recorded flight into a KML file that can be viewed in Google Earth.

AUTO-LOGBOOK


Totally automatic and editable, the logbook uses GPS information to detect block and flight time, as well as departure and arrival sites. The Logbook stores time as UTC and all values are fully editable. Logbook entries can be sent by email or downloaded to a desktop computer.

X-PLANE BRIDGE


Air Navigation can be linked to the X-Plane flight simulator. This is a great feature for training at home when bad weather prevents real flying! Also, simulator enthusiasts can add a full moving map system to their Sim setup. Currently we have an X-Plane 9 plugin for Windows and Mac OS X.

CUSTOMIZABLE


Air Navigation can be customized with your preferred instruments. You can import/export your own flight paths or airspaces (OpenAir or Tim Newport Peace formats), from your desktop PC. You can import flight plans from other GPS software in GPX format.

iOS


Air Navigation is designed to run on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. If you own both an iPhone and an iPad, you will only need to purchase the application once, as the same application will run on both devices. iPhones 3G, 3GS, 4 and iPads 3G have integrated GPS that will provide accurate positioning and good estimation of altitude (within 200 ft). Air Navigation will support external GPS modules that are compatible with IOS devices. It is therefore possible to use an iPad Wifi or iPod Touch with external GPS modules.
*An external GPS device is mandatory for real time navigation on an iPad Wifi and iPod Touch.

+ MORE


Air Navigation has many more features that you can discover by referring to the user manual available in our "support" section. We are always working on new features so, expect an even better product in the near future!
