I flew a vfr route from Kont to Klax tonight. Upon contacting socal approach I got hammered for entering the class B airspace. My question is is there a product out there like a moving map with a vfr sectional chart overlying your route? It would be helpful on vfr flights if I have some knowledge of where I am in relation to the airspace and etc. Any ideas are welcome.

Realityxp Garmin GPS will display all airspace. It works in just about every sim out there

Re: Moving Map
Charts don't move, but are invaluable in your flight. Use the TAC to find visual waypoints to avoid the Class B, and always be prepared.

Re: Moving Map
Question on the Reality Xp 430/530. Would it be better to have that display on a secondary screen or can it be embedded into the virtual cockpit? If i do purchase the product do I need to get both the 430 and 530?

Re: Moving Map
They are sold separately. They can be embedded into both the 2D and 3D panels, others may know more about that. I just use the window that opens up.
