Send Airtext Moving Map Solutions

For operators seeking a cost-effective way to modernize the cabin experience, the Send Airtext Moving Map offers an economical and efficient solution — particularly for aircraft operating within tighter upgrade budgets.

West Star Aviation provides expertise in both cabin and cockpit avionics solutions across all budget levels, helping operators select and install the right technology to enhance passenger experience without the expense of traditional hard-wired systems.

Fast Installation, Minimal Downtime

One of the key advantages of the Send Airtext Moving Map is its rapid installation process. Unlike legacy systems that require extensive wiring and complex integration, this solution is designed to interface with existing avionics and cabin infrastructure using standard connections.

The system is compatible with major flight decks, including:

  • Garmin
  • Collins
  • Honeywell
  • Universal

Mounting solutions, including integrated iPad Pro kits, allow portrait or landscape orientation and typically can be installed with minimal aircraft downtime. The result is a clean, professional finish delivered at a significantly lower installation cost compared to traditional avionics upgrades.

Real-Time Flight Data, Enhanced Passenger Engagement

Once installed, the Send Airtext Moving Map delivers a high-definition, interactive flight tracking experience. Passengers can view real-time information, including:

  • Time and distance remaining to destination
  • Current altitude and ground speed
  • Aircraft position, wind conditions, and Mach number
  • Local arrival time and outside air temperature

This feature-rich display enhances situational awareness and provides a modern, connected cabin experience.

Flexible Cabin Integration

The system adapts easily to a variety of cabin layouts. Bulkhead mode enables automatic screen on/off functionality, custom messaging, and slideshow-style air data displays. Display sizes ranging from 8.3” to 13” allow operators to maximize visibility in bulkheads or cabin dividers while maintaining a clean aesthetic.

Solutions for Every Mission and Budget

Send Airtext offers scalable solutions to meet a wide range of operational needs:

  • Airtext – Text and HD Moving Map
  • Airtext+ – Phone, Text, Email, and HD Moving Map
  • Oasis – Moving Map, full entertainment, and Cabin Management System functions

These options support both aircraft facing legacy system obsolescence and new cabin installations, giving operators flexibility to select the right capability level for their mission and budget.
