Hi there,
Thank you for your interest in Navigraph and for your great question!
You’re absolutely right—the moving map feature built into the most EFBs are quite basic, and while it provides real-time aircraft tracking, it doesn’t offer the full range of features that Navigraph Charts does.
With a Navigraph subscription, you’ll have access to our advanced moving map functionality across all your devices, including tablets, smartphones, and desktop computers. Here are some of the key advantages you’ll enjoy:
Multiple Map Types: Easily switch between VFR, IFR low, and IFR high enroute maps, as well as airport diagrams and approach charts.
Weather Overlays: View real-time weather data, including radar, wind, turbulence, and more, directly on your moving map
Live Traffic and ATC Sectors: See live VATSIM/IVAO traffic and ATC sector boundaries (with frequencies) for enhanced situational awareness.
Deep Zoom and Detail: Zoom in to gate level for detailed airport layouts, taxiways, and stands.
- SimBrief Integration: Import your flight plan and visualize your route, waypoints, and procedures seamlessly.
Multi-Device Access: Use Navigraph on your tablet, phone, desktop, or via web browser—whichever is most convenient for you.
To sum up, the Navigraph moving map offers a much richer and more customizable experience than what’s currently available in most EFBs. If you’re looking for advanced features like weather overlays and different map types, a Navigraph subscription is an excellent choice.
If you have any more questions or need help getting set up, feel free to ask—we’re here to help!
Best regards,
