ARGUS® Moving Map Displays

The Argus series of moving map displays is designed to give the pilot situational awareness unavailable with normal cockpit instruments. Traditional instruments with pointers and dials implicitly define your location with respect to navigational aids. The Argus shows you, explicitly, on a graphics CRT display, where YOU are, and where the airports, special use airspace, and navaids are. We make three monochrome and two color models. The Argus 3000 is a low cost unit designed to interface with almost any GPS or LORAN and provide a track-oriented display. The Argus 5000 and Argus 7000 are IFR certifiable and interface and display heading and ADF information as well as the navigation source. The Argus 5000CE and 7000CE add color displays and other advanced features.

EVENTIDE INTRODUCES the COLOR ARGUS® On Sunday, 5 May 1996 Eventide Inc. introduced the Argus 5000CE and Argus 7000CE Moving Map Displays at the AEA convention in Nashville TN. Using liquid crystal shutter technology, these units have a color CRT display which is every bit as sharp as the monochrome (green CRT) Argus models. The color capability provides even further contrast, allowing important features to be instantly distinguished and recognized, even when the display is unusually "cluttered." In addition to the color display, many user-requested features have been added: Rotary data entry knob for convenience in entering waypoints and flightplans. Flight "recorder" shows where you've been (or haven't been). Airspace Fixes, Airways and Intersections are now in the standard database. Flightplanning feature is standard. Database can be updated with PC (or Mac) at lower cost. When VFR, Class B and C airspace can be qualified by altitude.

We are pleased to announce that the Argus CE models received a TSO on 18 December 1996 and began shipping on 11 January 1997. The popular and less expensive monochrome Argus 3000, 5000, and 7000 models remain available. Please consult your avionics dealer or Eventide for pricing on the various models.As of October 1997 delivery problems with this product have been resolved, and we are now quoting normal (stock- 2week) delivery.

The miniature graphics below can be clicked to show legible "screen dumps" from the CE models. The full screen will appear larger on your computer monitor because the resolution of the Argus screen (pixel size) is much finer than that of the typical monitor. Actual size of the Argus sceen is 1.72" wide by 2.28" high for the Argus 5000 and 5000CE, 2.25" wide by 3" high for the Argus 7000 and Argus 7000CE.
