WingX Version 3 for Android is now available for devices running Android 5.0 or higher. The new version adds a number of features to WingX that have been available on the Apple iOS version. These include an improved moving map with regional selection for downloads and overlays of terminal area charts, helicopter routes, Gulf Coast and Grand Canyon VFR charts, and VFR Flyaway planning charts on the moving map.

Route planning has been improved with specific point and route summary information. In addition, the Bluetooth connection has been upgraded along with new hardware specs for connecting ADS-B In receivers.

WingX Version 3 is a free upgrade, and the company continues to offer the app for free to CFIs and retired military aviators. In addition to Apple iOS and Android devices, WingX also runs on Amazon’s Fire tablet.
