What better place to voice frustrations than here? I too, had problems with
this program (lack of understanding and otherwise) in the passed and if it
was not for Richard at Craggy Aero I would have switched to something else a
long time ago. As far as Jerry, I give him an "A" for designing this program
and an "F" for service.PeterK

OK, if you want to open the discussion to the wider audience, here goes:

Switch to SeeYou Mobile: excellent program, frequent updates and
upgrades, excellent support on their open forum and individually,
generous licensing (not tied to single PDA or GPS) and upgrade prices,
and a team making sure it continues to happen without depending on one
person.

Not impressed? Download a SeeYou Mobile evaluation copy, fully
functional, and try it in flight; yes, in flight, not just in simulator
mode.

Still not impressed? Come to the SSA convention in February, learn about
the new features, and talk to Andre and Erazem, the SeeYou Team leaders,
and their USA dealer, Roy McMaster.

At the very least, lurk on the Mobile forum

and see what support can be like.

Hope that helps. See you there!

Actually, Eric, I may do just that, and abandon the two PDA licenses I
purchased for WinPilot just one year ago. It is much easier now to
evaluate PDA soaring programs these days, because they can be 'flown'
repeatedly in Condor under pretty realistic soaring conditions.

I'm a fan of most of the work that the Naviter team does, but I sure
wish that they didn't use a proprietary binary file format for their
airspace (*.cup) files.

That has been a bit annoying, because they couldn't be edited.

Of course this doesn't prevent people from using other airspace files;
SeeYou can load just about anything and its Mobile Wizard can be used
to create custom airspace files for use with SeeYou Mobile.

That's what I do, which is why I wanted the entire USA. And now I have
(through your efforts) not just one, but two open format, editable
files. I should take a look at the OpenAir format and see if I like that
better than the N-P format files I've been using. Any suggestions on
format preference?

I really don't think one is preferable over the other. TNP/SUA seems
to be used in more places (GNII and others, where only WinPilot uses
OpenAir, afaik).

I wish that at least one of them would adhere to the FAA's breakdown
of restrictive airspaces (alert, caution, danger, MOA, prohibited,
restricted, training, warning). Those eight types (in the NFD) have to
be typecast to something the SUA or OpenAir format understands, and
how the application software uses those is another topic entirely.

But not even the FAA is consistent. The Special Use Airspace (SUAS)
half of the USFIF data contained "Temporary reserved airspace" and not
"Training".

I can hardly keep up with it all!!
