sectionals for contests
The way I do this -- and I don't use the results for navigation, btw (I
have flight software for that) -- is to simply use SeeYou (the desktop
version). You can pick your background -- vector graphics, satellite
imagery or sectionals -- then load your turnpoint file.
The only "trick" is that SeeYou doesn't expressly support printing
maps. So what I do is load a flight log from a location outside of the
area I'm interesting in having a map of, and adjust my map view to what
I want. I use the Print Setup and Print Preview to make sure I'm
getting what I want, then print.
I invested in a color deskjet printer that lets me print on 11-by-17
inch paper, which is the perfect size for maps in the cockpit. I'll
print the task area on anywhere from 2 to 4 pages. Works great!
