Nothing seems to be west of Helena. There are no other glider pilots within 4hrs of me, who fly cross country, and only one other who flies a Dimona motor glider locally. Would that mean I have to make my own turn points? I've lost track of your exact situation, but ... Assuming you are the John Foster in Ronan, Mt, you are indeed in a "glider pilot desert". If you are using iGlide, it provides the all the airports listed in the FAA database and that are on the sectionals. That's the basic "turnpoint" (aka database) file you need - no need to get it anywhere else. Your personal database will have landout fields and turnpoints you want to use for task, such as badge attempts. You will have to do this yourself, but it's not difficult. I do it using SeeYou, but there are other means. It will have only a few entries at first, but you can easily update it as needed, then load it into iGlide. After a season or two, you will be the "go to" guy for the Ronan area database. Just in case it hasn't been mentioned, iGlide Lite is very limited. If you like it, I recommend you upgrade to at least the next level. -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1 Yes, that would be me. Is there a way to manually enter turn points by just clicking on the map? I haven't seen this, but I only have the Lite version. I do plan on upgrading the version soon. |
