FSWidgets iGMapHD 4.6

The FSWidgets iGMapHD application transforms your iPad into a dynamic moving map suitable for desktop flight simulation environments.

For comparison, see the iGMap version designed for iPhone and iPod touch.

Are you operating simulators such as MSFS, FSX, FS9, X-Plane, or Aerofly FS 2?

This application supports the three leading desktop flight simulators available today, providing a portable moving map that enhances navigation, particularly during simulated VFR (Visual Flight Rules) operations.

It establishes connectivity with the flight simulator through the free FSWidgets Network Pack, downloadable from the FSWidgets website (http://fswidgets.com/shop/network.php).

iGMapHD optimizes desktop screen space by utilizing your iPad to display your aircraft's current position.
