FSWidgets Release Moving Maps for iPhone and iPad

FSWidgets has released two iOS apps that turn your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into a moving map for your desktop flight simulator.

Great app! It would be good though if you could make it track your flights on say, VATSIM or IVAO. That, would be epic
