A change was made to the format of the georeferencing data provided to Aero App. This update helped to streamline the application and improve its functionality. These changes have made its codebase more straightforward, removed the need for certain files within the zip files, added the ability to display Airport Diagrams on the moving map in the future, and made georeferencing more precise. The last Aero App version(s) to use the legacy georeference files was version 1.2502 released in March 2025. The 1.2502 for Android Hotfix (released in Aug 2025) and all versions released after have included the code update required for the new georeference files. The legacy georeference files will be sunset after AIRAC cycle 2605. Please contact us via email at AeroDistro@nga.mil or AeroAppSupport@hiltonsoftware.com if you have any questions.

The dataeffective and dataexpiration fields will be updated in the metadata of Moving Map files beginning with the 2605 cycle to include both date and time. This update aligns with the ISO8601 standard. These updates should be taken into account for any users or systems that rely on these fields.

Aero App 1.2510 has passed testing on iOS 18.7.4 and iOS 26.2.1. iPads running a previous version of iOS can be updated to the latest.

The Aero App Android Data API provides an interface for accessing aeronautical data. Sample code and related API documentation can be found on ACES 2.0. Refer to the Knowledge Base for more information.

The current version of macOS, macOS 26 (Tahoe), supports a very limited selection of Apple computers released prior to 2020. Apple’s next release, macOS 27, will no longer support any of these models. As a result of this discontinued support, ADS support for older Apple computers will be limited. To ensure continued compatibility, we strongly recommend upgrading to an Apple computer with Apple Silicon, such as those with M-series processors.
