The US sectional charts on my website (in CMR format for SeeYou and georeferenced TIFF format for GoogleEarth, Global Mapper, etc.) have been updated to the most recent versions. Moving forward, I plan to issue new updates every charting cycle, so that the charts will always be current. Some have...

It is Spring again, and if you haven't done so in awhile it would be a great time to update the airspace and airport databases in your glide computer, PNA, handheld GPS, or desktop planning software in preparation for the upcoming US season. The FAA data for the charting cycle effective March 30,...

I noticed one or two users that had problems when their CUP turnpoint file contained tasks that used numbered turnpoints. In one example, the turnpoint file started with "01Beloit-WI". Any tasks using that turnpoint (or any other numbered one) would get messed up. That issue has been corrected,...

Hello All, It is that time of year again. If you haven't done so in awhile, it would be a great time to update the airspace and airport databases in your glide computer, PNA, handheld GPS, or desktop planning software in preparation for the upcoming US season. I've made the FAA data for the...

I've posted updated versions of the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas charts on my website at http://www.soaringdata.info. I do the whole batch of all the charts in the continental US once a year, but (at least until I think of easier methods) it's too expensive and time consuming to do them every...

Has anyone besides me noticed that SeeYou 4 (desktop version) has been released? It's a bit confusing becuase the date next to the link on Naviter's website is shown as 2010 instead of 2011, but it really is a new release. Also, you have to select the SeeYou entry on the Download or Products menu...

All, I've added support for Google Earth .KML files to the interactive turnpoint file generator on my website. You can now upload a turnpoint file for a contest site (from the Worldwide Soaring Turnpoint Exchange) and download a .KML file that can be opened with Google Earth showing those...

Some years ago I wrote a program to extract airport information from the NASR data published by the FAA's National Flight Data Center. I've finally gotten around to putting a dumb little website around it, so that others can use it to build their own database extracts. The site produces .CUP files...
