I just downloaded two up to date sectionals from the Glideplan site. So that's being actively supported.

Maybe Matt went soaring for Memorial Day Weekend.

Unfortunately if you cross sectionals you're going to have a problem. I've tried to import multiple sectionals and GlidePlan does not support this.

emails to Matt have gone unanswered for months...

Any other ideas ?

Thanks in advance,
Best Regards, Dave

I've had very good luck using the globalmapper program that has now
become
this company:

http://www.bluemarblegeo.com/global-mapper/

With the free demo version I've been able to import 4 sectionals
(which are
automatically stitched together) and place turnpoint markers on the
map,
and then print out the results. Make sure to print out the part of
the sectional
that shows currency so you have a legal sectional. The US sectional
charts
are available for free now at:
