FLY AERA, IN ANY PLACE

In aviation mode, detailed shaded maps in the aera 550 style and extensive site and aviation databases help you visualize the flight path of nearby navigational aids, terrain, SUA, obstacles, and so on. In addition, the inclusion of private airfields and airfields for helicopters to the database provides even more navigation options and emergency "nearest" options. Based on the database, the field advice function offers color coding similar to TAWS and flashing warnings as they overdraw potential obstacles or conflicts of proximity to the ground. And thanks to a given terrain/obstacle shown to the accuracy of 9 seconds in the higher resolution, you will enjoy a better level of information on the display. The graphic site of the device site offers both a view from the top and the vertical profile of the topography you are flying over. Moreover, the Smart Airspace function emphasizes the air space at the current altitude and directly around it. Warning alarms of the area warn about your surroundings, and in addition to detailed flight mapping, the aera 550 includes free updates of the flight data base for a period of one year. The GPS update takes place at a fast rate of 5 Hz, which ensures accurate and certain navigation.

Inspired by Garmin ®'s popular nüvi ® navigation devices, the aera 550 gives voice guidance a step by step through a built-in speaker with audio technology of speech synthesizer, which calls the streets by name. The built-in Bluetooth ® technology enables hands-free wireless connections to a compatible mobile phone. Stay in touch by searching and selecting numbers using your phone's contact list, call history, or built-in special points in the aera. Aera offers helpful hints for millions of pre-loaded destinations, including hotels, restaurants, service stations, ATMs and other local attractions, and if you crop off course, it automatically recalculates the route so you can get back on the route. The premium features available only in Aera 550 are the lane assistant with crossover view, speed limitation notifications, and traffic alerts.

A single Aery power cable streamlines the transition of the unit from the dashboard to the dashboard. This is a unique "intelligent handle" which recognizes the change of transport for the immediate navigation of the "clip-and-go" car type.
