This is a PUI/XML dialog with two embedded CanvasWidget areas that instantiate independent ND instances using a subset of the code commonly found in the aircraft specific ND.nas file, adapted to use the embedded Canvas region for rendering the two NDs and GUI buttons/widgets added to control the whole thing without necessarily requiring a fully developed cockpit.
