Looking for moving MAP

[shlomiA]

Hi everyone,

I am Looking for a Moving map When I fly.

 

I saw this one:

This looks amazing, but someone maybe know another moving map like this? maybe better? ;)

 

or I will buy this one?

 

Thank you for your help.

Interesting. Though I could only view the screen shots. They looked very similar to what I've seen often on Trans-Ocean flights especially.

 

When I tried to open the film clip it wouldn't.

I use the BS MM, works well and its free

I might recommend Plan-G, but do realize it too has it's limitations:

 

http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/

 

1. It's VFR and not really designed for airline planning. Though it does have a really nice detailed map, regardless of what you're flying.

 

2. Because of the high quality design of the map program, it is resource and memory hungry and prone to crashing. At least in my experience it is. Though I think if you tweek the settings so that it doesn't have to work too hard, you can make it work for you.

 

3. It is a Euro-Centric map with Greenwich Meridian in the center and 179-deg W all the way to the left and 179-deg E all the way to the right. The map somehow cannot recognize a trans-pacific flight w/o wanting to send a flight all the way around in the opposite direction (meaning within the scope of how the map is drawn), so it is not very realistic for planning (let's say) a flight from KSFO to RJAA. But then again it's for flying Cessnas below the cloud deck on ranges under 400 miles, so again, it's not really designed for that. But it's a really nice map, and I have a lot of respect for the gentleman who designed it.

I too am a BIG fan of Plan-G, primarily because it runs over your local network. I run FSX on my "main" system and run Plan-G on a laptop next to me. This puts any of the processing burden on a different system and the map on a totally different monitor than my FSX monitor. The designer (Tim Arnot) is very responsive on his forum.

Easy to install and evaluate, and the price is right

I too have the same problems with Plan-G. Crashes and unable to follow across map boundaries. On relatively short flights of a few hundred miles over land, it does a good job while tracing the plane path history. I agree it works better for GA than airliners. Its speed and fuel calculator is also goofy, not working for airliners at all even though it looks like it was intended to work. All the tools are there for planning and the detailed map with elevations and landmarks is nicely done. Strange UI, Buggy, Free.

 

Although not ideal for planning if you have to have the latest data, a very old nav map called NAV3 is my tool of choice once I have a plan. It has no limitations, an OK map, and it will follow me anywhere and never crashes. The fuel calculator built into it is flexible and accurate once you have good data put into it. It relies on the capability of non-registered FSUIPC.
