Doesn't work at all with Netscape, doesn't work very well with Internet
Explorer (Pan won't pan - just keeps redrawing the screen like its stuck
between the north/south map, zoom geauxs whereever the hell it wants to)...

Nice idea though...

Doesn't work with Netscape 7.2 (which is what I have) but it works with
IE 6. Pan works too, it's just a little different. Click somewhere in
the map to re-center on that point.

Try: aviationtoolbox.org

That gives me a directory of stuff but you have to know what it is
first. What should I be looking for?

Thanks for the info all.

Doesn't work, gave up... Just could be the Houston sectional but I doubt
it...

This is supplied by Kyler Laird for the past couple of years...

Thanks Kyler...

Thanks Kyler!

The sectionals themselves are .tiff files and average 46 megs each so be
patient.

Forgive me if this gets double-posted (wasn't logged in the first
time)...

These are nice and I just wanted to add a "thanks!"

I often want to take a look at a current sectional to see what I may be
"in for", on a particular flight. I may do this weeks or months before
I actually make the flight. I will purchase new charts, when
necessary, before a flight, but it's nice having a resource where you
don't have to purchase a trip-tik just to do some pre-preflight
planning!

I have just added "aviationtoolbox.org" to "My Favorites"!

Any other cool sites that you guys recommend?

Best Regards!

Kyler has several tools inside the website that merge sectionals, zoom
sectionals, link multiple sectionals into a strip for your flightplan.
Might need to Google for the links, I never saved them all or learned
all the necessary commands... Its done through secure HTTP though...

He's also built his own moving map that uses those sectionals, I don't
think its available yet for public consumption though...

Oziexplorer allows you to import the GeoTiff's, never played with that
either... http://www.oziexplorer.com

And use rsync with compression.

Hm, I just tried the Houston sectional at myairplane.com (using IE6).
Zooming in and out, and panning, all worked fine.

Try to go south to Lafayette or Lake Charles. It always stopped on me in
the MOA's to the north...

Nope, I have no trouble panning there, or all the way to the bottom of the
chart. Must be a problem with your local setup.
