Upgrade Utilizes NASA's Blue Marble Map Data
Rockwell Collins announced Thursday that Version 2 software
enhancements for its Airshow 4000 Moving Map System for business
jets are now available and in production. The new software features
dramatic 3D enhancements and updates the look of Rockwell
Collins’ Airshow 3D Moving Map product lines.
“With more than 4,000 business jet operators relying on
our Airshow technology today, we put a priority on continually
evolving this offering,” said Steve Timm, vice president and
general manager, Information Management for Rockwell Collins.
“The Version 2 enhancements are the best we’ve had yet
in terms of adding new customizable options and features that focus
on information that is unique to the airborne experience. We think
our customers will truly be ‘wowed’ by the new aspects
of Airshow 4000’s Moving Map capabilities.”
Version 2 software includes a new graphical design utilizing
NASA’s Blue Marble map data, which is based on satellite
imagery. New features and performance enhancements add additional
capabilities to the widely-used moving map system. Additionally,
Airshow 4000 with Version 2 software supports IP-based connectivity
over high-speed and broadband data systems, augmenting existing
satellite telephone connectivity and providing faster, more
reliable upload of up-to-the-minute Airshow Network
programming.
Version 2, the new baseline software for Airshow 4000, is now
available for new orders. Existing Airshow 4000 customers can
upgrade to Version 2 software through a custom software
configuration that may require a hardware modification. Software
trade-in and performance programs are available for upgrading to
Version 2.
