Moving map display

A moving map display is a type of navigation system that displays the receiver's current location at the center of a map. Mainly moving map systems like Adonis One’s ICARUS Moving Map System are used in aircraft to show passengers their current location, altitude, airspeed and ETA to destination. As the receiver moves, the map moves to keep the receiver at the center of the display. Moving map displays using paper charts were first introduced in the 1950s, and became common in some roles during the 1960s. Paper maps were replaced by computer imagery during the 1970s and 80s, with resolution and detail improving along with the computer memory systems that held the data. A common example of the system today is the map display in a smart phone, which uses GPS to determine its position and then recalls the map data from the internet in real time.
