VOR GPS Coordinates

[Google Madness]

Since I use a non-aviation GPS when I fly, I only have airports and not VORs
in the Garmin database of streets and places.
So I put together this .gpx file (GPS eXchange format) which can be imported
into GPS Applications and downloaded into the GPS.
I also included a comma delimited text file of values.
Hope someone else finds this useful too.

Or they could go to my Aviation Waypoint Generator and generate a GPX file
for themselves.

Paul, what does your site do with the cookies it sets?

It's only one cookie. It remembers what options you choose so that next
time you visit those options are chosen again. This is useful to you if
you want to come back after the next FAA data update, for example.

Yes indeed! Thanks Paul! I have my GPS V loaded with all
public airports in Texas (about 475 of them). Waypoint names
are airport designators. Works great thanks to you!

Paul,

Your GPX file has:

<type>AIRPORT</type>
<extensions>
<navaid:name>VANCOUVER INTL</navaid:name>
<navaid:runway designation="08L/26R" length="9940" width="200"
surface="CONC">

Shouldn't it be <airport:name> or <wpt:name>?

I might be able to get these GPX files and the extensions supported in
WingX.

Thanks for a great resource.

Hilton

In addition to Paul's site, I have a site that you can use to select
navaids and airports based on a variety of geographic choices.

No, "navaid:" is the namespace, which tells XML that "navaid:name" and
"navaid:runway" are defined in the http://navaid.com/GPX/NAVAID/0/8 schema
definition.

That would be cool.
