AnywhereMap info for KWAY shows runway 08/26 at 3,500'X75' Left traffic
and 1,065' elevation. 082-degrees magnetic heading.
Airnav shows the runways as 09/27 and NACO shows a helicopter GPS090
approach.
This substantiates your claim that AnywhereMap data is incorrect. Does
anyone have a current Jepp database handy and can confirm that it shows
the correct runways for KWAY?
The Jepp data has been correct for a while, as the runway numbering
change is a few years old. It was correct in the database of my Garmin
195 before I sold it (and the database wasn't up to date at the time.)
I wish that I could remember some of the MEA and frequency errors, as
I'm sure that they are still present as well. The Control Vision
explanation was that the data contained numerous errors, but that their
present database format did not permit them to correct the errors. I
know for a fact that the Control Vision forums had numerous reports of
errors all across the country during the time that I was an AWM user.
If you have access to the forums, you may want to search there for other
errors (and I may have posted some), assuming that CV hasn't purged
those threads.
CV promised to rework the database and make it changeable with v2.0 of
the software, which was supposed to be released in 2005. Still hasn't
happened. Even when they make the database changeable, someone will
have to change it--that takes labor, which equates to expense.
