Gogo Business Aviation has launched Gogo Vision 360, a premium IFE service that features a comprehensive suite of services, including an upgraded 3D moving map.
Available with the newly released AVANCE 4.2 software update, Gogo Vision 360 is available for activation via a call to Gogo customer care as a new service or as a free upgrade for existing Gogo Vision customers with a Gogo AVANCE L5, L3 or SCS system installed on their aircraft. Activation will occur automatically over the air with no downtime required.
The new service offers unlimited streaming of unlimited viewing of more than 150 of the latest Hollywood movie releases and popular TV shows, including popular Disney movies and TV programming. There are 30 digital magazine titles available including Golf Digest, Forbes, Wine Spectator, Newsweek, Wired, People, and Town & Country. Customers onboard will get the most current issue as well as the previous issue for each publication. More news topics from Bloomberg News have been added including global business, investing, technology, automotive, energy and top business and finance stories from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and the US.
Gogo Vision 360 is configurable for Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Russian, and Spanish. Audio tracks for movies and TV episodes are offered in English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish.
“Gogo Vision has become an essential part of the inflight experience for many of our passengers and operators,” said Sergio Aguirre, Gogo’s President. “Passengers want to be productive during their flights, but they also need downtime. The addition of a new 3D moving map will provide a new interactive experience for passengers that we’re excited to offer. Vision 360 is an important next step in our commitment to deliver the best in-flight connectivity and entertainment experience to business aviation.”
Gogo’s 3D moving map is delivered through a partnership with FlightPath3D.
According to FlightPath3D President Duncan Jackson: “Our map offers a stunning in-flight entertainment and information experience with real time flight data, augmented reality and personalised geo-spatial content.”
“The Gogo Vision 360 moving map features a game-like 3D interactive experience with high resolution satellite imagery, immersive virtual reality window seat views, cockpit head-up-display and an aircraft 360 view,” stated FlightPath3D CEO Boris Veksler.
Veksler added: “We’ve added fascinating historical information about landmarks as they’re flown over that auto-play en route with their distance and direction from the aircraft’s position. In addition, passengers can see real-time flight data such as ground speed, altitude and heading.”
Destination weather will be added soon.
All Gogo Vision content is updated automatically each month through a seamless delivery via Gogo Cloudport, either in a customer’s own hangar or at Gogo Cloud locations throughout the US and in Europe.
