This is a new take on the moving map for FSX. It comes from Jeroen Vandenbelt at PositionGames.com, where you can download a PC client, fsxfollow.exe, and register for the web server, fsxlive.com.
I installed FSXFollow.exe on my Windows 7 X64 PC. Then I registered (I paid 6.99 Euros via PayPal, and I received my key via gMail from Jeroen).
I start FSX and load a flight plan.
I start FSXFollow.exe, login and check that my key has been entered.
I open fsxlive.com in any browser, on the same PC or any other PC (I tried my Android tablet and my Google TV).
My flight shows in the list on the left. I click it, and my plane shows at the departure airport, with the flight plan in green and my track in blue.
The browser window is just Google Maps overlaid with the aircraft icon, the flight plan and the track, so it doesn't really compete with FSWidgets or Plan-G. But it's really easy to connect, and can be viewed using any browser on any platform (Windows, iOS, Android). It doesn't even need to be on the same network as the FSX PC.
