Navigraph Charts Update Brings Real-Time Traffic and Enhanced NOTAMs
By Emma Thornton · · 2 min read
Navigraph has updated its Charts application to include real-time traffic integration with VATSIM and IVAO, along with improved NOTAM filtering and display. The update also adds support for custom waypoints and user-defined holds.
Navigraph has released a significant update to its Charts application, version 8.2, which now integrates real-time traffic from VATSIM and IVAO. This feature allows users to see other online pilots directly on the enroute and terminal charts, enhancing situational awareness during online flights. The traffic display includes callsign, altitude, and speed, and can be filtered by range. This integration is a major step forward for online flying, as it reduces the need to switch between multiple applications.
In addition to traffic, the update improves NOTAM handling with advanced filtering options. Users can now filter NOTAMs by type, altitude, and radius, and the display has been optimized for readability. The update also adds support for custom waypoints and user-defined holds, which can be saved and shared. These features are particularly useful for complex approaches and training scenarios. Navigraph has also updated its navdata to cycle 2310, ensuring current procedures.
For serious simmers, this update streamlines flight planning and execution, especially when flying on VATSIM or IVAO. The real-time traffic overlay is a game-changer for situational awareness, and the improved NOTAM system reduces the risk of missing critical information. Navigraph continues to be an essential tool for flight simulation, and this update reinforces its position as the leading provider of charts and navdata. The update is available now for all subscribers.
