Download the free FltPlan Go app to your iPad or iPhone. It does exactly what you want plus a LOT more.

Moshe,

Just took a quick look at FltPlan Go on iPhone. Looks pretty nice, also free.

Thanks. I actually have an Android phone, could use Avare. But I don't want to overload the phone with too much going on. Already burdening it with IGCdroid etc. And I use Tophat on another device to actually navigate. I would still like to find a way to stitch the sectionals as images. I find it surprising that in 2019 we still can only get the official sectionals in their old paper-oriented tiles.

I really don't think Avare will overload your phone. I use it all the time with multiple apps running without any problems. Give it a try and see. It is totally free to do so.

Take a look at Map Merge from OziExplorer.

https://www.oziexplorer4.com/w/

I believe that's exactly what you need to stich the maps. To save them in a format different from Ozi's proprietary one (e.g. TIF, JP2, PNG, JPG, ECW), you need to get the licensed version of Map Merge for $29.
