CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (April 01, 2010) - Rockwell Collins announced today that Version 2 software enhancements for its Airshow® 4000 Moving Map System for business
jets are now available and in production. The new software features dramatic 3D enhancements and adds a stunning modernized
look to Rockwell Collins' Airshow® 3D Moving Map product lines.
"With more than 4,000 business jet operators relying on our Airshow® technology today, we put a priority on continually evolving
this offering," said Steve Timm, vice president and general manager, Information Management for Rockwell Collins. "The Version
2 enhancements are the best we've had yet in terms of adding new customizable options and features that focus on information
that is unique to the airborne experience. We think our customers will truly be 'wowed' by the new aspects of Airshow® 4000's
Moving Map capabilities."
Version 2 software includes an exciting new graphical design utilizing NASA's Blue Marble map data - based on actual satellite
imagery. Extensive new features and performance enhancements not only deliver unparalleled 3D graphical realism, but also
add even more new capabilities to what is already the industry's most popular moving map system. Additionally, Airshow® 4000

can upgrade to Version 2 software through a custom software configuration that may require a hardware modification. Software
trade-in and performance programs are available for upgrading to Version 2.
