GMap from FSWidgets - FREE

FSWidgets has a great little Google Moving Map program called GMap. This isn't the only software they have, they have an Electronic Flight Bag that includes the Moving Map that can also display charts, PDF Plates, Manuals, Checklists and Online Weather. They sell this program, but the cost is very reasonable. They have Widgets for Flight Simulator and X-Plane as well.

GMap is for FSX only (sorry FS9 flyers). It also supports charts which you create yourself using their updated Free Calibration Utility or purchase them if you are lazy like I am. If you are already using GMap and would like to try creating charts, you might want to download the newest version, that has the New Calibration Utility included.

One cool little feature is that you can choose how to view your GMap...it can look like a iPhone or a Garmin GPS an EFB or just in a Browser.

Check it out....I am sure you will like it....I do.
