Hi All,

Just in time for the holiday season, I've made a couple of
improvements on my website:

- If your device's memory is too small to accommodate the airspace
map of the entire country, you can now create a subset file for just
your area of interest. Start by running a query on US Airport
information. If you select an airspace type under the companion file
options, the subset file will be automatically generated using the
same bounding parameters as you specified for the airport query.

- I now do higher fidelity conversion of waypoint attributes between
different file formats. For example, a point designated as a
"Mountain Top" in a SeeYou .CUP input file will acquire the "5"
attribute (signifying a mountain peak) in an output .STX file.

Find my site at http://www.soaringdata.info.

Other stuff on my site includes:
- Current airspace and airport info. for the entire US, in formats
supporting virtually every glider program and instrument
- Sectional charts in .CMR format for SeeYou (I'll be updating these
again in the Spring)
- Airspace maps for use with Garmin recreation-syle GPS receivers
- US border files in Tim Newport-Peace and OpenAir formats

As always, all of this is free and freely redistributable.

Happy Downloading!
