Flight One Software announces the official release of a new software package called FSDiscover! This utility is a Flight Simulator sightseeing guide, a navigation tool, and a simple flight planner, all in one single product for Flight Simulator X and Flight Simulator 2004. FSDiscover! is preloaded with over 3.6 million geographic names from all over the world. There are also 1900 specialized points of interest for FSX, and 600 specialized points of interest for FS2004, including all the "Easter eggs" and unique landmark buildings within these simulators.
Some of the geographic features that will be identified include: Mountains, Streams, Valleys, Beaches, Rapids, Parks, Lakes, Islands, Harbors, Glaciers, Forests, Waterfalls, Canals, Bridges, Dams, and much more!
FSDiscover! offers an easy-to-use map where you can see airports, points of interest, geographic features, and your custom FSDiscover! flight plan. All this information can be displayed in your 3D Flight Simulator world. Labels along the terrain describe each geographic or specialized feature, and special visual flight path markings follow the terrain along your programmed flight plan. The flight planning features allow you to plan simple to elaborate sightseeing excursions all in a simple point and click interface inside Flight Simulator. You can either follow them yourself, or let FSDiscover! use your autopilot to help guide your plane to your destinations. A built-in Point Of Interest editor is also included so you can easily add your own points of interest.

Sounds like another version of FSNAV, focused more on sight seeings... anyone have an opinion on this?
