In a previous article, said:
- European waypoints: Many other programs realize that it's difficult
to get a reliable source for that (Jeppesen has them, of course). So
they let users compile them and put them up for download. There's a
risk of error (really higher than Jepp?), but everybody is made aware
of that risk. At least, they have them. Some European authorities have
their airport and nav aid info on the web for free, e.g. the UK and
France.


For the CoPilot/GPSPilot/GPX waypoint generators, I use a combination of
DAFIF data and user contributed data. I've never been able to find UK
data as anything other than a PDF file per airport, which sucks.

- and the flight planning will use that accordingly. As I mentioned,
Davies' (sp?) Copilot for the Palm is one of the gold standards for PDA

flight planning, IMHO.


BTW: If the WingX developers want, we could arrange for me to provide the
data I have in whatever format they need.
