Using Pocket Plates 3
All of the plate images take approximately 2GB of drive space, significantly less than the original plate images from NACO. Plates load very rapidly and the user can easily and intuitively scroll around on the plate of their choice. It is easy for the user to select different approaches at a given airport, as well as to view arrivals and departures associated with that airport.
All plates can be viewed in day or night mode, and they share the GPS with Anywhere Map, taking advantage of factory plate image calibration to show the aircraft position on the plate, along with other digital information.
Pocket Plates 3 for Windows XP / Vista
Pocket Plates 3 has the ability to overlay high-resolution terrain, with or without TAWS like display features enabled on the plate. On systems with Anywhere Map Pro software, XM weather may be overlaid from the Mapping system on the approach plate selected. The overlaid weather information can be made semi-transparent as well.
By adding the topographical and weather information to the NACO plate basemap, Pocket Plates 3 provides the pilot with uniquely powerful situational awareness. It is truly the next-generation of approach plate viewers.
Includes free 6 month subscription for data and software updates. This is everthing you need to keep you plates current for 6 months. Anual and Lifetime subscription options are available.
