SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software
This chapter outlines what users should expect from SkyView’s Navigation Mapping 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 3.0, the SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software is
available for purchase ($500 MSRP). The Navigation Mapping Software replaces the free trial of
the map that was previously available.
In place of the unlimited free trial period that existed prior to version 3.0, all SkyView systems
now have 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 (such as
weather) 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.
License Information
The SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software license is activated by purchasing a Dynon
Avionics SV-MAP-270 license code and entering it into your SkyView system. Only
one
Navigation Mapping Software license is needed in a SkyView system, no matter how many
displays are attached. That license is applied to only one display, but that display stores the
license information for the entire system. In normal use, license information is shared with all
displays connected via SkyView Network to allow the Navigation Mapping Software to be
operated on any screen.
Checking License Status
If the MAIN MENU > MAP menu can be entered on every display in the system and SkyView
doesn’t present the “MAP TRIAL MODE” message when the Map Page is first displayed on boot,
Navigation Mapping Software is licensed for use in your aircraft.
