A moving map display is a sort of navigation system output that shows the unit’s current location in the middle of a map rather than quantitatively presenting the current geographical coordinates given by the navigation unit or a heading and distance indication of a specific waypoint.
The map moves to maintain its place in the centre of the display when the unit moves and new coordinates are therefore determined.
A map or chart graphic scrolls beneath a symbol on the display screen that indicates the location of the GPS device being used by a person or inside a vehicle.
Moving Maps cover a variety of electronic navigation tools, such as mobile VFR GNSS equipment and apps for tablets and smartphones.
Compared to using only conventional VFR navigation methods, viewing the aircraft’s position in real time reduces a number of risks.
Thus, the map or chart that is displayed on the display depicts the device’s actual physical movement.
Most devices replicate an overhead image of the device’s location on a changing map for the portrayal, but some also simulate a three-dimensional view from the device’s point of view.
Numerous devices additionally offer the choice of having the map or chart image stay still on the screen while the location symbol changes to show movement of the actual device.
Some moving map display systems also offer a way to show the device’s elevation above sea level or the surface of the world.
The Global Moving Map Display market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Every pilot who has ever battled with folding paper charts has entertained the fantasy of an electronic moving map that knows our precise position in the air and can track and present an ever-changing picture of the world below.
The moving map was created when a few enabling technologies—GPS, affordable screens, and powerful yet compact processors—arrived.
The advancement of situational awareness and the abolition of one of the deadliest types of crashes, controlled flight into terrain (CFIT), in which an aircraft is accidentally flown into the ground by its crew, were both made possible by the moving map revolution, which is occasionally incorrectly dismissed as an accessory to aviation.
