AviationMaps
INSTALL BEFORE FLIGHT!
AviationMaps by Avilution is the premier flight planning and in flight information application for Android (don’t believe us, ask Aviation Consumer!). Run it on a tablet to have ready access to charts, plates, and airport data. If you’re using another device today, keep us on your phone so you’ll always have a back up source at the ready while you’re in the air.
Large screen devices can use our popular split screen mode, which lets you decide what information you want to display. We concentrate on making our product highly usable on phones as well, and if you want to use it on both you only pay once.

Looks great! I watched the Aviation Consumer report which rated Avilution #1, but was struck by one advantage of individual charts – namely that you can read the notes in the chart margins. Since these often give altitudes and/or active times for restricted areas, how does Avilution provide this informaton?
We don’t have a way to provide it yet, but it’s on our desired feature list!
