Is there a manual for it anywhere? It seems pretty intuitive, however how
do I add my own airspace/Waypoint files as the UK info only has airports
installed.

Thanks,
Shaun

Jeez Jim not only did you reveal to the world that you might the
last person running Winpilot in the UK, now you are also
admitting to using Android!

It looks like this is only for the western USA, what about
the eastern USA will it not work for that?

Facebook seems to be a good platform for a live manual - with full interaction and feedback from the users. We have posted there a short info with a screen shot (see http://www.facebook.com/pages/WinPil...3711787682930).

How to import / export files like Turnpoints, Airspace, IGC logs?

Use the iTunes App on your desktop, select your iOS device, click Applications and then WinPilot. You will get a window with all files on your iOS device (see the screen shot below). From there, you can drag and and drop files in and out of the device.

Note that we have changed the extension of OpenAir SUA files on the iOS from .txt to .air, to make it easier to differentiate SUA files from regular text files.

I don't think so - unless all of your users have a Facebook account.
Are you aware that you can't read any details without being logged in?

(I don't have a Facebook account, but anyway I'm not a WinPilot user,
this is just a generic expression of my opinion)

Seconded.

IMO the correct place for a manual is on a website which doesn't need any
special sign-ups to access, and the correct format for the manual is
standards-compliant HTML 5 or PDF. Making it available as a downloadable
ZIP archive is also a nice touch, especially if it takes the form of a
set of HTML pages plus linked images.
