You didn't look very hard did you?

They appear to be divided by region, presumably because
the whole database won't fit a Filser.


That is absolutely correct. There is a note about this on the BGA
Waypoint Web page (http://www.spsys.demon.co.uk/turningpoints.htm), but
every year it catches someone out.

UPDATE:

As a number of people have encountered the same problem, the site has
been changed and when the is not sufficient space in the manufacturer's
format for all the waypoints, the download symbol with a large red cross
over it displayed. If this happens for the format you want, go to a
regional list.
