The original data that was used to create the charts. Someone, somewhere has
layered data. Basically:

Land TOPO +
TOPO Color +
Water +
Airports +
Airspace +
VOR stations +
VOR compass roses +
Victor Airways +
Antennas +
Power lines +...

With that (and the underlying coordinates), one could build an online chart
and select only the desired visible components in the desired location. Having vector
art for things as simple as extras on a chart (text, circles, straight lines) would be
easier to deal with when zoomed in than HUGE bitmapped files. Someone's got it... or
else they'd have to get a artists to draw another little antenna icon everytime one
sprouts up.
