This is not a MAP application, please read the description

This application is for professional and private Pilots. It is a compact search tool used to help with programming your FMS / GPS either inflight or on the ground.

It helps you find ground based station Identifiers and frequencies for North American radio navigational aids when given the name during an ATC clearance.

As a pilot you often receive a revised clearance from ATC with several "Unknown" waypoints or ones that have identifiers that are very different from their name.

With this app you will no longer need to "Break out" the charts or attempt to get more info from a busy ATC frequency.

When you launch the app you will see the main screen. It is the master index for all VOR/ NDBs in North America. To find one just tap on the search bar and enter the first few letters of the fix, the list will narrow as you type.

As you can see for each fix the ident, fixtype, frequency and state showing you the information you need to program your FMS / GPS flight plan.

E.G. if cleared to "Colliers" you just type in "col" and you will see the station identifier, station type, frequency and location, in this case "IRQ" that you will need to enter into your FMS / GPS.

Very helpful

Straight forward tool for those of us who fly in the US Canada Mexico. Takes a lot of the guesswork out of clearances issued in unfamiliar places and who need to program a fms or dial a frequency quickly.

Good info

Fast info in the cockpit, has let me leave that chart folded many times

Does what it promises

I have a suggestion. A scroll bar down the right side so one can quickly scroll to a particular letter. This would be a quick and handy feature when getting bounced around by turbulence that makes typing a chore.

Broken on ios8

Great app that doesnt work on ios8. Hopefully there will be an update.

Mark-

Update please. Not working. Thxs Millick

Hi Mark

Please fix this, broken in 8. E. Is right.

Does NOT work

Screen shots are wrong. This thing is obviously ignored by the developer.
