The UltraTAWS™ expansion pack increases the resolution rendering of Anywhere Map PRO and Pocket Plates 3.0 for Windows while actually improving the update speed of the map display.

UltraTAWS™ features over 300 times the resolution of any previous version of Anywhere Map. The coverage area currently includes the Caribbean, Hawaii, and most of North America (up to 60 degrees north latitude). Terrain rendering in these areas is accomplished in a resolution of 90 meters. This results in a dramatically improved resolution of fine terrain details, allowing small ridges and gullies to be easily discerned.

The upgrade package comes on a DVD ROM and can be added to Anywhere Map PRO systems for Microsoft Windows XP / Vista.

In addition, UltraTAWS supports sectional charting with the included MaxNAV™ component. The scanned sectional charts can be used in combination with any other Anywhere Map features, including Terrain warnings, weather, holding patterns, and more. UltraTAWS now includes low and high enroute charts!

There are no additional subscritptions required when your purchase the UltraTAWS Expansion Pack. Your 28-day MaxNAV updates are part of your Anywhere Map subcription.

The geo-referenced images of the official NACO VFR Sectional charts are seamlessly stitched together to form a continuous background image covering the entire continental US, plus Alaska and Hawaii. With MaxNav, the traditional paper charts become the backdrop for a user configurable digital vector map, adding a lot of detail that is missing in traditional vector mapping technology. Like a digital map, the user can tap on features for more information. Airspace boundaries can highlight if they are of concern. Obstacles can highlight when they pose a threat. Ultra TAWS terrain data can be overlaid on the base map, highlighting threatening terrain with a red overlay. Even XMWX Nexrad can be transparently overlaid on the Sectional map image.

MaxNAV is VERY fast, and has no impact on the update rate of the digital map. MaxNAV supports both north up and track up modes. The user can add MaxNAV to any map screen in Anywhere Map, allowing any map view to use the sectional data as a backdrop.

The seamless nature of MaxNAV completely hides the traditional boundaries of the original Sectional charts, the user never needs to know which map the background comes from. Individual chart tiles are each stamped with an expiration date, and a simple online process automatically keeps the map tiles current and up-to-date. MaxNAV is a part of the Anywhere Map UltraTAWS upgrade and it works on all Windows XP and Vista tablet computers.

5GB of free hard disk storage on the tablet is required along with a USB DVD ROM drive for installation.

(Note: If you purchased UltraTAWS prior to the release of the MaxNAV component, please email the sales department with your activation code to request your free MaxNAV DVD.)
