  • Patent number: 11170656
    Abstract: A method for predicting a low visibility set-up option for an airport moving map includes determining a visibility at a particular airport and predicting a low visibility set-up option for an airport moving map for the particular airport in response to the visibility being below a predetermined value. The method also includes retrieving from a data storage device the low visibility set-up option for the airport moving map in response to predicting the low visibility set-up. The method additionally includes applying the low visibility set-up option to the airport moving map for the particular airport. The method further includes presenting the airport moving map on a display including geospatial low visibility information based on the low visibility set-up option.

  • Patent number: 9188448
    Abstract: A system for determining an anchoring location of a marine vessel. The system includes a first computing device configured to capture location data of the marine vessel along a route of the marine vessel, and a second computing device. The second computing device including a memory area, a location component that determines location data of a marine vessel, and a processor. The processor is programmed to receive, from the first computing device, the location data of the marine vessel, determine, from the location data, a location along a route of the marine vessel that the marine vessel traveled a distance less than a maximum threshold distance over a predefined period of time, and identify the location along the route of the marine vessel that the marine vessel traveled a distance less than the anchoring threshold distance over the predefined period of time as an anchoring location.
