I've noticed that some of you have tried to use .cup turnpoint files
that do not contain airport FAA/IATA identifiers. Up until now, this
would have been a problem because my site uses the identifier as the
key to match and merge the data from the NASR sources. The result is
that the NASR data would simply have been appended to your turnponts
instead of properly merged.

I've spent a little time this weekend implementing a proximity search
so that data for airports will be merged correctly. Now if your input
file contains any point marked as an airport that is within 30 seconds
of arc (about half a mile) of the published coordinates of an airport
listed in the NASR data, the information for that airport will be used
for the point.

So you might want to give it another try.

I've also noted that a few have been uploading tab delimited input
files that don't have all the required fields. My site requires tab
delimited files with the full set of fields listed at the bottom of
this message. I think that most (all?) of the tab delimited files
available for download on the Worldwide Turnpoint Exchange now conform
to this format.

If you still are having troubles, feel free to reply to me directly
and I'll see what I can do to help.

Here is the complet list of required fields for tab delimited files.
If your file doesn't have these, it won't work:

TP Number, Name, North/South, Latitude [degrees], Latitude [minutes],
Latitude [seconds], Latitude [decimal minutes], Latitude [decimal
degrees], East/West, Longitude [degrees], Longitude [minutes],
Longitude [seconds], Longitude [decimal minutes], Longitudee [decimal
degrees], Elevation[Feet], Codes, ID[3], ID[5], ID[6], ID[10, ID[12],
State, Comments, CAI Comment, ICAO Identifier
