We had an airplane running flawlessly, we had real-time weather displayed on a large-screen map, and we had XM Satellite Radio to make the hours pass.
This is why most improvements in bizjets during the last 40 years have come from outside the industry--electronic engine controls, global-positioning satellites, moving-map displays, downloadable real-time weather, etc.
Another possible draw: the introduction of a service called Sea Smart, a one-button emergency gizmo, comparable to OnStar for luxury autos, with a panic button that sends a signal via satellite every ten seconds and offers real-time tracking of the distressed vessel on a 3-D color map back at Sea Tow's headquarters.
Secondly, the outcome-based approach requires companies to map out goals more precisely than with time-and-materials models.
FORBES: The Benefits of A More Thoughtful Approach To Consulting
We had weather displays, in real time, on a large-screen map.
Both systems utilize Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network1 service to provide an overlay of real-time traffic events and conditions on the navigation map and allow users to create routes (or re-route) to minimize traffic delays.
They have figure out how to map the real-time information against historical information to offer predictive possibilities.
For example, for Stanford University a device could eventually show you a 3D map of the campus with real-time traffic information, information about your lecture room and the class there, information about the subject there, such as biology in 3D, and so on.
Researchers at 11 institutions are mapping the largest conduits among brain regions by combining four imaging techniques, including a new method called diffusion magnetic-resonance imaging that allows researchers for the first time to accurately map the white matter of nerve fibers.
Instead of showing them on the map, the feature projects them onto a real-time camera view.

It was a very public endeavor, including a website, with a blog, information about Gibbons and her journey, photos of her, and a map that showed her planned route and her satellite-tracked location at any given time.
