View Full Version : Electronic street maps that find GA airports close to addresses / attractions

I can usually count on Yahoo maps (or the like) to find anything in
the yellow pages that's close to a particular location. But I've
noticed the database in these tools always lacks listings of GA
airports. They only store large airports. I often have to reference
the airport facility directory and manually enter the street address
of the airport (which isn't provided in the green AFD, and not always
accurate at airnav.com). It's a lot of manual work.

Are there any online resources or software that has a complete AFD,
and will also sort airports ordered by proximity to an address?

Suppose I want to find airports that are within 200nm of my local
airport, and are also within 5 miles of a casino, for example. Such a
task could take hours to do manually.

It uses AirNav, but that is probably accurate enough for what
you are looking for.

Thanks! That will be quite useful.
