Finding nearest airport
Does anyone know if a site that provides an "offline" version of the GPS nearest airport function? I'd like to be able to enter a given city and find the nearest aiports to that city. A quick net search didn't turn up anything. Well, I did find a site to use to locate the nearest Shell station... Matt

Does anyone know if a site that provides an "offline" version of the GPS
nearest airport function? I'd like to be able to enter a given city and find the nearest aiports to that city. http://aviationtoolbox.org/old/nearby_airports That doesn't quite qualify as "offline". The pieces are all there though. locations for cities http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/...0/places2k.txt airports http://aviationtoolbox.org/old/ATA-1...ats/Apt_rf.txt http://aviationtoolbox.org/old/ATA-1...txt?format=del module for using the FAA ATA-100 data http://aviationtoolbox.org/munge/FAA_ATA100.py examples http://aviationtoolbox.org/munge/FAA_ATA100_examples/ And here's some code for calculating distances. http://aviationtoolbox.org/munge/calculate_distance.py Is there interest in a standalone script that rolls all of this together? --kyler

I might have been missing something obvious to everyone else here. Did "offline" mean "not using the GPS" and not "not using the 'net"? --kyler

Perhaps he is interested in a potential destination city for which he does not yet have a sectional. The average pilot does not have sectionals for an entire country, wouldn't you agree? -- Peter ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =---
