Default A question for you GIS gurus out there

TFRs are usually so short lived that it's unlikely anyone would have

I'm thinking more about contest situations. At Parowan this year we
had TFRs in the task area most days. Having the PDA programmed to
always load "dailytfrs.sua", even if the file is empty, would make for
an easy daily procedure.


I'll like that feature during our fire season, when we might have 10 or
more fire TFRs within reach (WA, OR, ID) in a bad year.
