 o Program Description

   Welcome to AirNav - The Aircraft Tracking Software for Windows.

  This Software makes easier the task of tracking aircrafts flying 
  in any part of the Globe.
  Once aircraft data is inserted via Terminal Mode or Flight 
  Management Mode the program will calculate with high precision and
  display an aircraft label instantaneously on the globe position where it is.
  The program enables you, using Flight Management Mode, to see all flight
  development details. Its also possible to draw all kinds of airspace and
  flight related data, from weather to routes, from ATC centers
  to a 160000 digitalized map provided.

  Within AirNav you can estimate any flight waypoints and times.
  The program includes 9 extensive databases which are editable and searchable
  using the provided Database Explorer.
  Using the new rotating and resizable labels its possible to avoid label overlapping. 
  Completely new and innovative features such as Vertical Tracking enables the
  user to understand airspace flight level organization. Security circles will
  help you monitoring near-misses. This circle as well many other options can be
  set using Preferences.

  But the best of the program is the floating window capacity: every window is
  resizable and you can open as many maps or vertical tracking windows as you
  want. Because of that its possible, for example, to see traffic simultaneously
  in many zooms enabling you to get a complete overview of what is passing
  in the skies of the globe.
  The program also includes an All Heard Management feature which will maintain
  a completely detailed database of all aircrafts you have ever heard on HF
  (not only using AirNav).
 
  That's it, AirNav  The Aircraft Tracking Software for Windows!
