Real-time GPS Position
Pocket Plates contain all underlying fixes, intersections, airports and navaids in map coordinate format. Plates are calibrated, a simple process that takes about ten seconds, consisting of identifying two objects on the plate such as a fix and the airport. Calibrated plates display real-time GPS position in flight.

Product components
Pocket Plates consists of a Plate Manager that installs on your laptop or desktop PC, and a Plate Viewer for displaying the procedures on a Pocket PC. The Plate Manager selects which plates you store on your Pocket PC or Tablet; performs automatic Auto-Pilot Updates of the plate library, and prints our hard copies of plates as backup for specific routes.

Ease of use
Far easier to use in an aircraft than traditional paper books or cumbersome binders. Select approaches either by typing in an airport identifier or by tapping on geographic regions of the country. The procedure is intuitive and very fast and there are no fragile paper plates to remove from a binder.

Storage Options
The entire 12,000-page U.S. plate library and the Plate Manager are stored on a Windows PC in under 1 Gigabyte of disk space. Plates are stored for viewing on Pocket PC or Raven computers using a memory card. A 1-gigabyte card will store the entire library with about 200 MB left over. If your flights are typically restricted to a smaller geographic area, lower capacity storage cards may be used. Both Compact Flash and Secure Digital cards may be used for storage, depending on the facilities offered by the display device.

Compatibility
Pocket Plates is supported for Pocket PCs with ARM processors such as iPAQs and Toshibas, and Windows 98/2000/XP computers. It is not currently supported on Casio Pocket PCs.
