KRviator Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 From software version 13, Dynon's SkyView EFIS now supports OzRunways and AvPlan mapping packages for those of us in Australia and EnZed! VTC/VNC/ERC look like they're supported at present. The software itself will be available for download shortly after Oshkosh finishes up. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guernsey Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I think that you mean't your post heading to state Dynon and not Dyson, unless you want to clean up your software. Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevan Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 AvPlan EFB has the MegaVFR (seamless VFR charting Australia wide), NZ VNC and geo-referenced airport diagrams and instrument approach procedures for the Dynon Skyview and AFS EFIS units. See http://www.avplan-efb.com/avplan/electronic-charts-efis/ for more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downunder Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 WOW....awsome news!!! Thanks for that. Even android ozrunways on my tablet was making my skyview mapping look very ordinary. Good to see Dynon finally let some more 3rd party's (parties?) in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsam Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 This will be a wonderful improvement for me, I suspect. However, Dynon's generic maps currently display with high-terrain "warning colourations" where nearby terrain is above my current altitude. I wonder whether high-terrain "warning coloration" will be included in future iterations from OzRunways? Or can one quickly switch maps between Dynon generic, and OzRunways/Airservices Australia? Rowan, any info on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asmol Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I was just looking and its only $19 a year for the maps on OzRunways but its $149 for AvPlan, big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevan Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 OzRunways is $19 per update (and there are two updates a year) and only include VFR maps. AvPlan includes VFR and IFR maps, plus geo-referenced airport diagrams and instrument approach procedures for 1 year, for $99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bevan Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Here is what the geo-referenced DAP's (including airport diagrams) look like in the Skyview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernie Knight Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Oz Runways love it...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsam Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Ok it's all working. This morning I updated the Dynon firmware to 13.0.3, downloaded the hybrid map and key file from OzRunways (now only $9.00 by the way) and voila! BTW, don't forget that the Dynon system must have the correct "tail number" ie. no dashes or leading/separating spaces in your rego (eg. 241111 or VHXYZ). The two OzRunways files need to be in the root-directory of your USB stick, and that USB needs to remain connected to the Dynon system at system start-up for it all to work. When flying it is a simple matter to toggle between the Dynon generic terrain map, and the OzRunways hybrid map. I'm a happy guy :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downunder Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I paid $19.00? Now till November. Also had to change my tail number in the dynon to remove the space.(not hard to do) I was very excited to get it but seem a little underwhelmed now..... Basically a "layer" map over what you have. Looks like I'll need to keep my fms subscription to keep my database? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsam Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I'm guessing they dropped the price due to it being much closer to the November map cycle. I haven't got the fms subscription, so can't advise about this. I will actually go flying tomorrow, so will see how it operates & looks amongst nearby terrain.

Bevan Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 We're working on replacing the need for PocketFMS, should be ready in a few months. We'll be including that in the $99 per year for the maps and airport diagrams. Bevan.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakej Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Just be aware that if you are using the Dynon SV Transponder (ie Mode S unit) do not put the VH in the tail number area as well as no spaces etc as mentioned by dsam above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsam Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 So the good news is that nearby terrain colouration (yellow then red), still appears as an overlay layer on top of the OzRunways hybrid VTC/VNC/WAC map. Not much need to toggle to the Dynon default terrain map display IMO. Still a happy pilot :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
