Virgin America Flights Now Get Enhanced Google Maps Data

Virgin America, which was the first to offer Wi-Fi on all of its planes, has now taken the Internet love one step further, and is now offering users the option to shop in SkyMall, view enhanced Google Maps, and even open a bar tab in-flight. These services come in addition to the services that are already available such as TV, music, games, passenger chat and food ordering. With this new update, users will be able to pay for their in-flight purchases directly with a credit card. The Google Maps feature is another nice move, as users will be able to get terrain view of the maps and zoom in, something many folks would love to try while many thousand feet in the sky.
