This Manual is for users of the EchoMap software running on a either 
an Echo Flight 

Flight Cheetah 

Multi-Function-Display or a Windows 

laptop/tablet computer. 
Reading this manual will introduce you to the powerful features and 

functions of EchoMap.  You should install software on your home 

computer to practice in demo mode.  See section 4.2.1. 

1.1 

System Requirements  

If you are not using the software on a Flight Cheetah  flight 

computer, it is recommended that you use a Pentium class 

Windows® laptop or tablet computer.  WinCE is not supported. 

Requirements 

Operating System 

Windows 95, 98, ME, XP 

Windows NT4, 2000 

Processor 

Pentium 75 MHz

64-128 or more 

Hard Drive 

500 megabytes 

1 gigabyte or more 

Ports 

1 serial or USB port 

2 serial or USB port 

At least one RS-232 serial port is required to communicate with 

the Satellite Transceiver and/or GPS Receiver (USB to Serial 

adapters are available). A faster processor or more RAM will 

improve system performance.  A CD-ROM drive is required to 

install software and updates, but is not required for use in-flight.   

 

- When using a mobile computer in the cockpit, special care 

should be taken to place the screen out of direct sunlight, in an easily 

viewed area that does not interfere or block any controls or instruments.   

1.2 

Data-Link and GPS 

EchoMap is designed to work with the Quake and Panasonic 

brands of ORBCOMM satellite communicator (SC).  These SCs 

provide integrated GPS functionality.  EchoMap also supports the 

use of a separate NMEA GPS receiver on a serial/usb port to run 

without an SC or to replace the SC’s integrated GPS.  If you use 

both an SC and a NMEA GPS, you will need at least two serial or 

usb ports.
