Imagery for IFE - FlightPath3D

Enhanced Maps for In-Flight Entertainment

Moving map applications are now a central feature to the In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) experience. More than navigation tools, they keep passengers engaged throughout the flight by offering a dynamic, real-time view of their journey. As airlines enhance their infotainment systems, visually rich and interactive maps have become essential.

PlanetObserver provides a seamless, natural-color satellite imagery basemap designed for smooth integration into IFE moving map solutions. Optimized for visual clarity, performance, and global consistency, our imagery brings realism and visual appeal—whether displaying global routes or detailed local terrain.

Key Applications

  • Base layer for interactive moving map displays in IFE systems
  • Real-time flight tracking 


Leading providers such as Display Interactive and FlightPath 3D integrate PlanetObserver’s geospatial data to deliver high-quality, immersive moving map experiences on board commercial and business aircraft.
