Rockwell Collins announced today that it is in final development of a number of enhancements for its Airshow® 4200/D Moving Map system. Highlights of the Version 2 software update will include dramatic 3D map enhancements and a stunning new graphic design. The update is planned to be available at the end of the calendar year.

The new 3D maps utilize NASA's Blue Marble map data with proprietary image enhancements and corrections to deliver unparalleled 3D graphical realism to what is already the industry's most popular moving map system. Additional new features and performance enhancements include:

• A new global map package that provides major improvements in detail and coverage worldwide

• Innovative new time and flight status displays

• Realistic day and night views on all 3D maps

• A new head-up display designed to offer a pilot's-eye view of the flight
