This is AWESOME!
I love this! Thank you Kyler! I have a large format printer at my office, Color too! this will be great for Cross Countries! thanks you again. David "Kyler Laird" wrote in message ... Not long ago, in rec.aviation.student, http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=e...2fe3a472&seekm =e1449182.0310211155.6488628%40posting.google.com& frame=off I learned that the FAA is now selling scanned sectional chart DVDs. http://www.naco.faa.gov/index.asp?xm...tal/Sectional_ Raster At over $300/year for each of the East and West sets, it sounded like many potential users wouldn't get to touch them. That would be a shame. I've wanted the data for a long time too, so I decided to get it and make it available to everyone. http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA_sectionals/ I'm hoping to provide a bunch of tools to manipulate these (and other) data sets, but that'll take awhile so I'm offering the raw data for now. I'll probably move it around later, but I'll make sure it's easy to find. Note that the East and West data sets only take 2.7GB, so even with the Alaska set, a single DVD has plenty of space for all of this (and the ATA-100 data and an operating system...). Is anyone interested in DVDs like that? I'm thinking that I'll donate these DVDs to Purdue. The Computer Society there makes copies of various CDs as a fund raiser and I'd try to get them to start making DVDs of these data sets if people would pay enough to make it worthwhile. I'll try to get some tools going soon. I'll also be configuring to allow other people to write their own tools on my server and access everything remotely through XML-RPC. Enjoy! --kyler |
