Rockwell Collins' Airshow 4200s Have New Features

Rockwell Collins is adding new features to its Airshow 4200 moving map display and flight information system that will offer airline passengers more location details and views of flight deck instruments.

The upgraded Airshow 4200 and 4200D will now have a completely new atlas-style map set that incorporates major highways and highway labels to complement the existing topographic and photographic map depictions, and more details on existing maps such as extensive lists of various districts and points of interest in large cities, and a new world-clock page that presents the city's local time.

All of the features are available via a software upgrade package to existing Airshow 4200 customers, Rockwell Collins says.  09-20-2007.
