SkyView Software Version 3.3 is now available for download.
SkyView 3.3 adds audio alerts and messaging, fully integrated user
waypoint functions, and much more and highly configurable GPS waypoint
information to the Moving Map window.
The Audio Out feature includes voice annunciation of engine,
navigation, and autopilot alerts, augmenting the visual alerting and
messaging already incorporated in the display.
The new User Waypoint function allows the pilot to create,
manipulate, and import/export user defined waypoints. User Waypoints now
appear as an icon of the pilot's choosing, and like other airports or
navaids they can be used in flight plans, as direct-to navigation
waypoints, or can be used visually on the map page to help navigate.
Substantially more waypoint GPS information can now be displayed on
the GPS navigation map, including items such as Bearing to Waypoint,
Distance to Go, Distance to Waypoint, ETA, Ground Speed, and GPS
Altitude. All of this additional GPS information can be selected and
viewed by the pilot in flight.
The new Map Navigation features require that the SkyView System have a SV-MAP-270 software license.
A new hardware device for SkyView is also being introduced, the
SV-NET-HUB. With five network ports, it allows easier connection between
multiple SkyView modules. Typically mounted in the avionics bay, one
port can connect to a SkyView display leaving four ports available for
connection to the ADAHRS, EMS module, and autopilot servos.
