SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software
This chapter outlines what users should expect from SkyView’s Navigation Mappi
ng Software
capabilities and also covers operations that are specific to this function.
SkyView’s Moving Map requires valid GPS and terrain data to function as a real
time, look down topographical map. Aviation data is further required to show
airspaces, airports, airport identifiers and other features overlaid on top of the
map. More information about these three requirements is contained in this
chapter.
Use of the Navigation Mapping Software beyond an initial 30 flight hour free trial
period requires the purchase of a Navigation Mapping Software license. This
section contains detailed information about how this purchase is made and the
software activated in your SkyView system.
Starting with SkyView Software version 11.0, the Moving Map functions are
temporarily unavailable immediately after boot up while the databases are loading.
This change allows SkyView to power on substantially quicker so that you can utilize
the EMS and PFD pages as quickly as possible. A message will appear on the map
“MAP
UNAVAILABLE WHILE DATABASES LOADING” and the map will be available
once the message clears.
Beginning with SkyView software version 3.0, the SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software is
available for purchase. The Navigation Mapping Software replaces the free trial of mapping
features that was included in software versions prior to version 3.0.
As of August, 2016, all new SkyView displays include a SV-MAP-270 (or equivalent functionality)
at no additional cost. SkyView (Classic) displays sold prior to August, 2016 still require the
purchase of an SV-MAP-270.
SkyView Classic and Touch displays shipped prior to August, 2016, included a 30 flight hour free
trial of the Navigation Mapping Software that allows you to try it out before you purchase it.
After the 30 flight hour free trial period expires, the MAP menu and all navigation, mapping,
and other features that are displayed on the map page, including traffic, weather and the
depiction of databases will cease to be available until a Navigation Mapping Software License is
activated. Additionally, all other features that rely on aviation/obstacle databases, such as the
depiction of runways and obstacles on Synthetic Vision, are also unavailable without a
Navigation Mapping Software License.
