EGNOS vs NaviGate

The EGNOS application is a user-friendly tool designed to provide comprehensive access to information about the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS). It enables users to monitor real-time, historical, and forecasted performance data, access official EGNOS documentation, and explore guidelines and support materials tailored for different application domains, such as aviation, maritime, and land-based navigation. As Europe’s satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS), EGNOS enhances the accuracy, reliability, and integrity of GNSS signals, ensuring safer and more precise navigation. This is particularly crucial for sectors that require high levels of accuracy and safety, such as aviation. The EGNOS application serves as a gateway to key EGNOS services—Open Service (OS), Safety of Life (SoL), EGNOS SoL assisted service for Maritime Users (ESMAS) and EGNOS Data Access Service (EDAS)—helping users stay informed and maximize the benefits of EGNOS technology.

NaviGate is the situational awareness companion built for professional pilots — designed to keep you ahead of the weather and the airspace, from preflight to top of descent. SMART SCAN — OCR FLIGHT PLAN INPUT Point your camera at any ATC flight plan and NaviGate reads it instantly. Compatible with LIDO format. Waypoints, routing, levels, and hazards are extracted automatically — no typing required. VERTICAL PROFILE See your entire route in cross-section: terrain, MORA, WAFS turbulence, icing severity, CB tops, and active SIGMETs plotted at their real flight levels. Use the flight timeline scrubber to fly your route from EOBT to ETA and see how weather evolves along the way. FLIGHT HUD A persistent banner displays callsign, registration, EOBT, en-route time, gate, and flight level — alongside live TAF hazard alerts for your destination and alternate. Tap DEP at any time to amend your departure time — hazard analysis recalculates instantly, even offline. Tap INITIAL FL to adjust your cruise level and the vertical profile redraws to match. RAIN RADAR — MULTI-REGION COVERAGE High-resolution precipitation radar with animated playback across Europe, Turkey, Israel, the United States, Australia, Japan and China, Taiwan, the Philippines and South Korea. LIGHTNING STRIKES Live worldwide lightning data refreshed every 60 seconds. SIGMET OVERLAY Active SIGMETs displayed on the map with color-coded hazard types. Tap any zone to read the full text. NaviGate can also parse SIGMET documents via Smart Scan. WAFS TURBULENCE & CB TOPS WAFS charts covering turbulence, icing and CB top forecasts at several flight levels, with forecasts up to 36 hours ahead. WX ENROUTE VFR / MVFR / IFR / LIFR color coding on every airport within your route corridor. Filter by minimum runway length. Hazard thresholds for clouds, visibility, wind, and ETA window are fully configurable. SMART ALTERNATE FINDER Your planned alternate looking marginal? Tap the hazard badge in the flight HUD to scan airports near your destination — filtered by radius and minimum runway length. NaviGate pulls live TAFs and ranks candidates as Suitable or Caution. Designate any ICAO manually to fetch its METAR, TAF, and NOTAMs for offline use. Alternate candidates are pre-cached at route load so the finder works without connectivity. HAZARD DETECTION NaviGate automatically analyzes destination and alternate TAFs against your ETA window and flags low clouds, poor visibility, strong winds, CB activity, and heavy precipitation. Thresholds are fully configurable in Settings to match your own operational standards. AIRPORT INFORMATION METAR, TAF, D-ATIS, NOTAMs with category filters, runway data, wind component per runway, and sunrise/sunset times — all in one place. Smart caching keeps your last briefing available offline. WIND ARROWS PER WAYPOINT Tap any waypoint to see wind direction and speed at your planned flight level (FL050–FL390). LIVE TRAFFIC After scanning your ATC flight plan, NaviGate automatically identifies your aircraft on FlightRadar24 and displays live ETA, flight status directly in the flight banner. TOOLBOX Five precision tools accessible from the dock. Equal Time Point: place two diversion airports on the map to find the point where diversion time is equal, with wind component factored in. Distance Ruler: tap any two points for an exact NM readout. Time Calculator. Unit Converter. Crosswind Component: enter runway track, wind direction and speed for an instant crosswind and headwind/tailwind readout. OFFLINE & FLIGHT RECALL Radar tiles, WAFS, CB tops, and D-ATIS are pre-fetched when your route is loaded. Lose connectivity mid-flight? Tap Recall to instantly restore your full briefing. NaviGate is a supplementary situational awareness tool. It does not replace official ATC clearances, certified EFB systems, or regulatory briefing requirements.
