Re: AVIATIONTOOLBOX: How do you like your maps stitched?



I've downloaded the sectionals, and have brought them into Oziexplorer
moving map program ($75 download.)  Also downloaded waypoints from one of
several aviation waypoint generators and imported them into Ozi.  After
geo-referencing the map files, the waypoints line-up over the airports/vor's
etc., so one can then create routes.

So far, I haven't used it in the plane, but used it in the car and it seemed
to work fine.

Many thanks to Kyler.
