SkyView Roadmap - The Sky's the Limit!

The SkyView System is a powerful and flexible avionics platform, and features will be added for years to come. This table shows which features already exist, and which are being developed or planned.

SkyView Updates: For a complete list of the most current Downloads for SkyView, please go here.

SkyView Schedule: The following is our current schedule for release of SkyView enhancements over the next half year. We are working on many features in parallel, and every item requires extensive testing before we release it. So this schedule is not a guarantee of the release date of any specific feature. Please accept it as our best knowledge at this time, and we will endeavor to keep it updated and accurate.

Mid-June, 2010: Runways and obstacles on synthetic vision, basic "direct-to" on trial map (USA only), basic aviation data lookup (USA only), "nearest" map search, VORs, NDBs, fixes, and "direct-to" course line depicted on map page

Summer-Fall, 2010: Further navigation mapping functions, international map database, ARINC 429 Interface.
