On the moving map you can see:

· Your GPS position
· Your planned
· route
· Terrain, cities, roads, landmarks, rivers,
· lakes Aeronautical waypoints
· Airspaces
· Weather stations
· NOTAMs and advisory
· activities Third-party ICAO
· charts Topographic maps
· Approach

You can also see other aircrafts in real time when your mobile device is connected to the Internet,
to an ADS-B or FLARM Module.

Download Data for offline use

SmartChart
the moving map is a state-of-the-art map rendering engine. It generates the map content in
real time by relying on topographic and aeronautical data.

The quantity of data to represent the earth is huge and cannot be stored entirely on your device.
As a result, Smartchart will select the most relevant data and download it automatically for
offline usage.

· Aeronautical database of airspaces and waypoints

· (worldwide) Country borders (worldwide)
· Mora Grid (worldwide)
· Any third-party chart, approach chart and map installed by the user

Smartchart will automatically install (and update):

· Terrain, satellite images, landmarks, and so on around 50/100/150 NM of the user

· position. Terrain, satellite images, landmarks, and more around 30 NM of the user
· planned route. Terrain, satellite images, landmarks, and so forth at selected user
· locations.

(Optional) Plan a navigation

Air Navigation can be used to navigate in “free flight” mode, by simply monitoring your GPS
position on the moving map. However, it is more useful to plan your route before take-off. Here
are the possible ways to create a route:

· By creating a direct-to route from your current GPS position to a waypoint

· on map By interacting with the moving map
· By adding waypoints in the route module
· By creating a direct-to route from your current GPS position to the nearest airport

Create a direct-to route from your current GPS position to a waypoint on map:

1. 2. On the moving map, tap your desired destination waypoint to reveal the detailed
3. information At the top right of the popover, tap the “...” button to reveal more
options
Select “Direct to”, the app will create a route from your current GPS position to the

Create a route by interacting with the Moving map:

1. On the moving map locate and tap on your departure waypoint to reveal the
detailed information
2. 3. In the waypoint popover tap ‘Add to route’
4. 5.If prompted to switch to “Edit mode”, press “OK”
On the moving map locate and tap on your destination waypoint then ‘Add to route’.
6. You can insert intermediate waypoints by dragging the magenta leg between
departure and arrival waypoints
In the menu bar, press the “Edit” button to switch to flight mode

Create a route by adding waypoints in the Route instrument:

1. Press the “Resize” button [icon] (on tablets) or go to “Route” module (phone) to
display the Route instrument
2. Tap ‘+ Add a waypoint’
3. Input one or more ICAO waypoint identifiers separated by a space. (e.g. LSGY LFLM
LIML) then press the “Enter” key on the keyboard
4. Repeat for additional waypoints
5. In the menu bar, press the “Edit” button to switch to flight mode

Note: You can reorder waypoints by dragging the = icon and remove a waypoint by
tapping on it and pressing “Remove from route”
 20

Create a direct-to route from your current GPS position to the nearest airport:

1. In the menu bar press the “Direct” button

2. When prompted to replace your current route with a direct to route press “OK”

Note: After switching to flight mode Smartchart will attempt to download any required
data for the planned route with a corridor of 50NM. Please wait until the download
activity symbol is idle in order as it will indicate that terrain data, satellite images and
landmarks are available for offline use. Worldwide airspaces, waypoints and obstacles
as well as installed third party ICAO and approach charts are always available for offline

Start Flying
We have prepared a short list of tips to make your experience even more enjoyable:

· Make sure you are comfortable with interacting with the moving map (pan, zoom,
rotate, center on GPS position) before flying as you may not have the time to learn
those things (or read the manual) while flying.

· Fully charge your phone/tablet or use a power adaptor. A full charge on a recent iPad
will give you more than 5 hours of battery life.

· Consider using a knee strap to tie your iPad to your leg for convenient usage while flying.

Now that you’re all set, Blue skies ahead!

Thank You for choosing Air Navigation Pro, your pilot assistant.
