The SAR MAP function is built into the Morrow GX50, 55, 60, and 65 units.


And with the new Cessna SB07-34-05A is now an option for any Cessna
with the G1000. "The SAR upgrade enhancement includes the following:
Parallel traack search patterns, sector search patterns, expanding
square search patterns, flight planning parameters such as time,
speed, distance, and fuel remaining are displayed on the flight
planning pages throughout the mission, search patterns are coupled to
the GFC automatic flight control system, adjustable search pattern
parameters to modify the size and direction of the route, and
programmed search pattern from a single given waypoint."
