AOPA Expo '04: Anywhere Map's First Contest Winners Announced

Carter Boswell (pictured below) and Ed Wheeler (pictured at bottom of article) stopped by the Anywhere Map booth and picked up colorful buttons to wear as they walked through AOPA Expo. The next day they were “spotted” with their buttons and whisked into the Anywhere Map booth where President Jay Humbard presented each with a copy of Pocket Plates, Anywhere Map’s digital approach plate system.

Control Vision introduced Pocket Plates as the answer to the chore of lugging a box of approach books around when you fly; discarding out of date books every 56 days and fumbling around in the cockpit when the time came to set up an approach. A complete library of US approach procedures fits on a single memory card and displays on Pocket PC devices, PC tablets and laptops, and the plates are updated every 28 days online.

“These are electronic replicas of NOAA plates published by the Charting Office, and are legal for use under Part-91 operations,” said Humbard. He also points out that they expand the envelope of Situation Awareness displaying an aircraft’s current, real-time GPS position on the actual approach being flown.

Control Vision still has a grand prize winner to announce, winner of a complete Anywhere Map system complete with HP 4700, GPS, Anywhere Map software, yoke mount and power supply. Current Anywhere Map customers are eligible for an upgrade to Anywhere Wx.
