Adds DUATS Capability, Fast Animated Radar

Hilton Software LLC recently released WingX 2.5 for Pocket PCs and Pocket PC Phone Editions.

WingX 2.5 adds DUATS support, thereby streamlining the preflight process and minimizing ground delays. Furthermore, WingX 2.5 enables pilots to view animated RADAR, lightning probability, and satellite images quicker and easier than ever before. Hilton Software also continues to improve its best-of-breed chart compression and rendering engine used to display NACO charts.

"WingX 2.5 provides the tools for a pilot to calculate their weight and balance, plan a route, view color-coded METARs and TAFs along that route, check the animated RADAR, get a legal DUATS weather briefing including NOTAMs, and then file a VFR or IFR flight plan, all in a matter of minutes," said Dr. Hilton Goldstein, company founder and CEO.

"A pilot can save and recall an almost unlimited number of routes thereby enabling pilots to predefine routes that they fly regularly," he adds. "We are excited to be at the forefront of wireless technology and extending our market-leading position in handheld weather. We are truly committed to enhancing both aviation safety and efficiency."

WingX 2.5 is Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 compatible, VGA-optimized, and Internet and GPS-enabled. WingX 2.5 runs on handheld Pocket PC and Pocket PC Phone Edition devices such as the Cingular 8525, Treo 700wx, HP iPaq, Dell Axim, and Verizon 6700.

WingX 2.5 is available for download now at the FMI link below, for $129.95.
