Range rings from the spec sheet
Route and range maps for aviation work.
Sketch a network, check what an aircraft can reach, or send a colleague a map link. AvMap runs in a browser, so there is nothing to set up.
Quick maps for decks and discussions.
AvMap does not replace schedule data or planning tools. It covers the map you need for a meeting this afternoon.

AvMap and other apps
Planners and analysts often use schedule platforms such as Cirium or OAG, GIS software such as QGIS or ArcGIS, or a single-purpose range calculator. Those tools hold far more data. AvMap is faster when you only need the map.

Questions
Does AvMap include airline schedule data?
No. AvMap draws the routes you type. For schedules, frequencies, and capacity, use a schedule data provider and bring the city pairs into AvMap for the map.
How do range rings work?
A ring such as 3000nm@DXB shades the geodesic circle
of everything within that distance of the airport. It does not
account for winds, payload, reserves, or routing, so treat it as a
first look.
Can I use AvMap for flight planning?
No. Routes, distances, and times are approximate and meant for visualization and discussion. Use certified planning tools and official charts for operations.
