Hi All,

 

If it's available, I'm looking for a moving map that uses the current US FAA charts instead of Google or a proprietary map like Plan-G. My "ideal" program would be SkyVector.com with a moving map. I know it doesn't have a MM function - it's a great website without MM - it would be fantastic with one.

 

Those folks using SkyVector.com are familiar with what I'm looking for. I don't know if an app exists that uses VFR and Enroute charts or not. I've used FalconView when I was in the military, but I no longer have access to the charts it requires.

 

I hope the SkyVector developer incorporates moving map in the future, but in the interim, I'd like to find an Android App as described above.

 

I just bought the Samsung Galaxy III that I'd like to use for moving map/flight plan display functions.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I believe Skyvector is developing an iOS app, (they posted job openings for iOS developers a few months ago) but there was no mention of Android.

 

People ask me all the time about Android aviation apps and I've yet to find anything at all to tell them. Certainly nothing on the level you're asking about.

 

WingX is pricey and there are a lot of poor reviews on it. It only displays approach plates though, no full charts. Even Foreflight hasn't ventured down the Android road.

GMapHD for Android by FSWidgets.

FS Widgets Gmap displays sectionals (at least for the USA)..

For some reason I had assumed you were asking about real world aviation. GMap is definitely good for FS.

To all who replied - thanks very much for your information. I'll pursue the options you mentioned.

 

I confused myself, frankly. I meant to pose the question on two levels - one for Android mobile and another for PC. Regardless, thanks for what you all provided.

 

I'll wait for SkyVector to see what they provide in both Mobile and PC worlds. I'll try GMap for now on the mobile device.

 

This is all for FSX in the US including Alaska and Canadian Rockies. I'm an Orbx groupie, I guess - following them wherever they go. Spinal problems keep me out of the real world cockpits.

 

Thanks,
