Recently Laminar Research entered the aviation market with Xavion, a mobile (iPhone and iPad) product providing state-of-the-art synthetic vision, GPS navigation, instrument backups and most importantly, a visual glide path to the nearest airport in the event of engine failure.
The newest features include a wireless interface with an ADS-B receiver providing weather displayed on the Xavion map.
