I've downloaded the sectionals, and have brought them into Oziexplorer
moving map program ($75 download.) Also downloaded waypoints from one of
several aviation waypoint generators and imported them into Ozi. After
geo-referencing the map files, the waypoints line-up over the airports/vor's
etc., so one can then create routes.

So far, I haven't used it in the plane, but used it in the car and it seemed
to work fine.

Many thanks to Kyler.

Well I have to say I'm not sure how they could be used as a moving map.
Wouldn't they need to be vector graphics with the some reference?

No, raster graphics are plenty fine for moving maps. Sure, there
are some disadvantages, but since the sectional charts seem to be
maintained in hard copy, I don't expect much beyond raster
graphics soon.

('course if you want to make your own vector graphics, the data is
available.)

Or is it possible to create geo references and plot courses and
positions?

They're already GeoTIFFs.
