Sounds like you want to make it look like your web site is offering
charts but then get them from someone else?
What web site would that be?
I thought it just as likely he's trying to write his own chart retrieval app
to make his flight planning a bit easier.
That's exactly the case. I just like to fool around with creating
software for my own use. I write/maintain software for my day job, and I
like to take busman's holidays.
Not sure where Robert was coming from. Are you attributing some evil
motivation, Robert? Suppose I were doing as you suggest, Robert (which
I'm not). Are you saying that would be a BadThing? There are many such
web sites out there, I use them and appreciate them. Government data are
bought and paid for with my taxes. They are not copyrighted. I'm free to
republish them as I wish. No different from airnav.com's linking to
approach charts, or weather.com's repackaging of government weather data.
