Triskel, When they got to the problem area was about 4 hrs after their last land briefing so everything would be different then. If you mean transmit them up a picture of their route and the satellite info by all means do that if possible. It is possible if they pay for the capability. Most airlines now discourage use of satcom because of the expense. More than likely their onboard radar if used properly would have given them even a better picture of what they were dealing with. If the captain was on his rest break the two remaining pilots were running the program and radar.
