Chapter 16 Internet Page Podcasts and N-number searching adds to WingX’s advanced internet capabilities. Instant access together with data caching makes WingX’s Internet functionality fast, flexible, and very easy to use. ingX downloads podcasts, store podcasts, and plays podcasts whilst simplifying the entire process. An internet connection is not required while listening. N-number searches are a great resource Wwhile plane-watching at the airport. Podcasts With or without an Internet connection, WingX plays podcasts enabling you to listen to the latest aviation news, commentary, and weather while walking around the EAA AirVenture, waiting for a doctor’s appointment, riding on the train, or anywhere else you feel like listening. Hilton Software has teamed up with various news resources and other podcast creators to bring the latest aviation news, aviation commentary, and aviation weather. Podcasts are controlled via the Podcast sub-page on the Internet page. By tapping on the large rectangular Podcast Source area, a popup menu will be shown. This lists the podcast sources available. Once a podcast source is selected, the available podcasts for that podcast source is shown in the list box. The podcast creation date, the podcast duration, the podcast size in bytes, and a description of the podcast is shown. In addition, an “X” appears in the first column (called “C” for “cache”) if the podcast has already been download and is available without downloading again. WingX plays podcasts in the background so that you can continue to perform WingX calculations, navigation, or any other Pocket PC function. 102
There are four buttons on the page that have the following functionality: • Play – Tapping on this button will play the current selected podcast. • Player – Tapping on this button with display the Windows Media Player to give you full control over the playing of the podcast. • Get – Tapping on this button will download the selected podcast. Once the podcast has been downloaded and is stored on the Pocket PC, an “X” will appear to signal that the podcast is available for listening without an Intenet connection. • Get All – Tapping on this button will download all of the podcasts listed in the listbox that have not already been downloaded. N-number Search Searching for an N-number can be both recreational and business related. For example, a pilot can, while watching aircraft at the airport, obtain specific information about any aircraft. On a more serious side, aircraft information can be very important for organizations such as the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) . The N-number Search dialog is very simple. The page has a text box for the N-number (the ‘N’ being optional) and a “Display” button to get the information via the internet. Once the appropriate N-number has been entered and the Display button tapped, detailed information will be displayed in the space below. Here is an example using the aircraft in which our CEO took his PSEL checkride. 103
