      RealNav Nav Data Updates

      Redbird is pleased to announce the integration of RealNav NavData updates with Redbird GPS software.

      RealNav is a third-party database subscription built upon the navigation data produced by aviation authorities worldwide, and gathered by Lufthansa Systems.  It contains current real-world global information about airports, runways, en route and terminal waypoints, VHF Navaids,  airways, instrument approaches, departure procedures (SIDs), arrival procedures (STARs), and airspace.
