Significant improvements have been made over all previous plate viewing systems. Pocket Plates 3.0 includes integrated online updating, high resolution terrain, with color coded terrain threats clearly shown, XM WX Nexrad overlay, and even a “Doodle mode” to allow the pilot to make special annotations on any diagram, that are automatically saved and redisplayed. The advanced user interface makes finding any approach, arrival, departure, or airport diagram fast and easy, and it is well engineered for the busy single pilot IFR cockpit.

Pocket Plates 3.0 improves on previous versions with a new improved database, much higher plate image quality, factory pre-calibration, and more convenient zoom options. Pocket Plates 3.0 keeps the best features of the original Pocket Plates family, including a simple system for updating, the ability to user calibrate, ease of use, and integration with the extremely popular Anywhere Map family of products.

*High-res terrain requires UltraTAWS Expansion Pack

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.

Adding the UltraTAWS Expansion Pack gives Pocket Plates 3.0 the ability to overlay high-resolution terrain right on the selected approach plate. The TAWS like display features can be enabled or disabled on the plate with a simple toggle button.

Systems that include Anywhere Map PRO software with XM Weather can overlay NEXRAD on the selected approach plate. 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 3.0 provides the pilot with uniquely powerful situational awareness. It is truly the next-generation of approach plate viewers.
