Rockwell Collins introduces Hi-Focus maps for Airshow 4000
ORLANDO (November 08, 2005) - Rockwell Collins is adding high resolution maps with satellite image detail to its Airshow 4000 moving map display and flight
information system. The new Hi-Focus maps offer passengers up-close views for a wide variety of cities and points of interest,
revealing details such as rivers, roads, buildings and other features on their travel route and at their destination.
"Rockwell Collins' introduction of Hi-Focus maps for business jets delivers on our commitment to keep finding new and better
ways to keep business jet travelers informed and connected during flight," said Matt Smith, senior director Airshow Systems
for Rockwell Collins.
The new Hi-Focus maps provide more than 60 times the detail and resolution of previous map offerings, with an available worldwide
standard resolution of 15 meters per pixel, providing individual map views of approximately 70 square kilometers (43 square
miles). The maps are produced from actual satellite photographs, which results in a new level of real-time detail for the
Airshow 4000. Customers can select individual Hi-Focus maps for their preferred cities and points of interest, choosing from
a worldwide map database.
Airshow 4000 provides real-time flight information and moving maps, along with up-to-the-minute news, financial, sports and
weather data, in a dynamic multi-media environment. To date, the Airshow 4000 system has been installed on leading aircraft
types, including: Gulfstream G200, GV and G550; Bombardier Challenger 601, Challenger 604, Challenger 300 and Global Express;
Dassault Falcon 20, Falcon 900EX and Falcon 2000EX; Raytheon Hawker 800XP and Hawker 700; Cessna Citation VII; Boeing Business
