Downloading GPS track data and overlaying charts
To help improve the precision of my flying, I'd like to overlay the GPS track of my flight on a chart so I can compare. Although I don't recall what the most 'usable' program is right now, my guess would be the OziExplorer. Yes, OziExplorer is perfect for this. The steps involved are acquisition of a scanned approach plate via whatever means (if you have Adobe Photoshop you can import the PDF files of the NOS charts on AOPA's website), import the image into OziExplorer and calibrate using up to 9 points (fixes and VORs work just fine, anything that you can get an accurate lat/long for), then download the track from the GPS into Ozi. Here's a sample: http://64.203.15.192:81/KSUS-ILS-RWY-8R.gif |
