6.  SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software Purchase and Setup 
Starting with SkyView software version 3.0, the SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software is 
available for purchase for $500. The Navigation Mapping Software replaces the free trial of the 
map that was previously available. 
In place of the unlimited free trial period that existed prior to version 3.0, all SkyView systems 
have a 30 flight hour free trial of the Navigation Mapping Software that allows you to try it out 
before you purchase it. After the 30 flight hour free trial period expires, the MAP menu and all 
navigation and mapping features will not be available until a Navigation Mapping Software 
license is activated. 
License Information 
The SV-MAP-270 Navigation Mapping Software license is activated by purchasing a license code 
from Dynon Avionics and entering it into your SkyView system. Only one Navigation Mapping 
Software license is needed in a SkyView system, no matter how many displays are attached. 
That license is applied to only one display, but that display stores the license information for 
the entire system. In normal use, license information is shared with all displays connected via 
SkyView Network to allow the Navigation Mapping Software to be operated on any display in 
the system. 
Checking License Status 
To check whether a SkyView system is licensed to use the Navigation Mapping Software, go to 
SETUP MENU > LOCAL DISPLAY SETUP > LICENSE, and look at the status of the MAP line. 
Possible license statuses include: 
  LICENSED (THIS DISPLAY): The SkyView system is licensed to use the Navigation Mapping 
Software. This display stores the license information and allows displays in an aircraft to 
also use the Navigation Mapping Software. 
  LICENSED - CONNECTED DISPLAY ONLINE: The SkyView system is licensed to use the 
Navigation Mapping Software. This display is currently connected to a licensed display. 
  LICENSED DISPLAY OFFLINE - XX HOURS REMAIN The SkyView system is licensed to use the 
Navigation Mapping Software. However, the display that actually stores the license 
information is not currently connected. When this happens, the Navigation Mapping 
Software will continue to operate for 30 flight hours beyond when it last saw the licensed 
display in the aircraft. Once the licensed display is seen again, this timer is cleared. 
  NO LICENSE: No display in the SkyView system is licensed to use the Navigation Mapping 
Software. 
Features Overview 
Once licensed, the following features are enabled as long as SkyView has a valid GPS position 
signal, the appropriate high resolution terrain database installed for the region of the world 
that you are flying in, and aviation database installed.
