The date everyone was waiting for is finally arriving.
After hundreds of programming hours V3.0 final compilation is being sent today to our beta testing team. This marks one more milestone on the successful RadarBox project which has been, just one month ago, the first ADS-B receiver is space.
Upgrade to V3.0 is totally free.
RadarBox is the only receiver with an integrated worldwide ADS-B network and with a huge set of features inside a single application without the need of installing 3rd party addons. AirNav RadarBox 2009 - V3.00 is by far the most complete, sophisticated, reliable and accurate ADS-B decoding software ever released.
As usual work never stops at AirNav Systems. We are already developing the brand new "AirNav FlightWatch" application to be released later this year. This will be focused on the professional market but with an enthusiast version also available. It is the only software able to track flights using an worldwide data source network: FAA Radar System, ADS-B, RadarBox Unit, ACARS and Flight Plan information.
Note: AirNav Systems renamed this new version to V3.00 to reflect the considerable amount of changes being released.
