Great going Lynn, this is a real asset and very much appreciated.



Nothing provides the situational awareness of a printed map. Glide Plan allows you to assign waypoint colors, names, numbers and a host of other great map creation features.



Download the SeeYou waypoint file for your area, overlay them on your map and print for a Sectional in any scale you desire. Print two, one for your crew. Get out the clear shelf paper, cover the map and and your good to go.. While there is a learning curve to Glide Plan it is the straightest line for contest maps there is.

Thanks John.

You have been a great supporter of GlidePlan over the years.

I will be posting some tools on the GlidePlan website to allow individuals to process sectionals as Lynn has done if they wish to. I have versions that run on both Mac and PC. These tools will also process Global Mapper files if properly prepped.

It would be fantastic if someone could step up to update or create stitched maps using Global Mapper on a regular basis. stitching together charts is the hardest part of the process, but once stitched, I also have a tool that will update the Global Mapper files with the latest sectionals. Global Mapper is scriptable, so If someone has some skills doing that, it would remove a lot of the overhead of keeping custom maps current.
