1. A system, comprising:

  • a display;

    at least one processor coupled with the display and with a non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable code, which when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to;

    access and prioritize first avionics data for display, the first avionics data comprising a flight plan map;

    prioritize the flight plan map into two or more hierarchical levels, a first hierarchical level further subdivided into at least a low-priority category including a portion of VOR radial not associated with a direction of travel and a mid-priority category including portion of VOR radial associated with a current direction of travel;

    provide the first avionics data to the display to render a first picture, the first picture comprising a graphical user interface;

    generate second avionics data associated with a second picture based on one or more user inputs received at a first portion of the graphical user interface, the second avionics data comprising data corresponding to a widget generated from a third-party application with reference to a definition file received from the third-party application;

    provide the second avionics data to the display to render the second picture and present the second picture within a second portion of the graphical user interface based upon the prioritizing and the second avionics data; and

    de-render the second picture after a defined duration,wherein;

    the second portion at least partially overlays a low priority portion of the first picture, the low priority portion of the first picture defined by the prioritization, and avoid the mid-priority category of the flight plan map; and
