396 and routing
I'd like to start better using my 396 and am looking for suggestions.
I'm using the internet to keep the database up to date. I'd like to load STAR's, routes, etc. using a pc program. Is there a program for doing this? I have the auto option with the Mapsource program - is that what I'm supposed to use to manage aviation routes? Can I use AOPA's flight planner directly and download? I realize it's a very useful tool but I'm not using it to it's potential and appreciate your comments! |

Check it. |

Check it. Can you give some more detail??? Can you plan a route with terrain avoidance on other than airways?? I'd like to be able to plan cross countries, like for instance from s. california to Oshkosh, staying below 10,000 feet.... the planners I've used so far, route us to el paso first, but I know it can be done using the passes that I-40 cuts through. How easy is the upload feature???
