in my iGlide data base and on my Oudie?

FAA recently changed San Francisco Bravo airspace to a bit of a jigsaw puzzle. Where to I find current airspace files for the two nav tools? I'm pretty sure I know how to update the Oudie but how do I do that for iGlide?

Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry,

What type of airspace file does iGlide use?

You can get the latest airspace data from Lynn Alley's excellent site: www.soaringdata.info. It can provide U.S. airspace in both Tim Newport-Peace and OpenAir formats. Either format can be converted to a .cub file for all or part of the USA using SeeYou for PC for us in the Oudie. I can help, if necessary.

Best Regards,

You should be able to update the SUA for iGlide by going to Menu>Settings>Data
Updates>Aeronautical Data> update

For iGlide support, try emailing them at . I've been in communication with Frank Woidich (AIR Avionics, which I believe is the parent company), regarding a few suggested upgrades, and have found him to be very receptive to input, which has been quite helpful.
