>I'm thinking about what package to buy in the near future, and would
appreciate any comments good or bad (not too slanderous) about your
favourite software. I am after something that will allow me to upload
flight plans to my skymapIII , and print out a route on A4 sheets, thus
avoiding having too many unfolded maps flying around the cockpit. I
assume that these are common features, but the blurb I have read does
not always highlight them.<
I use Navbox Proplan4 which will work with the Skymap and KMD150. It will
print out navlogs.
To minimise using folded maps I scan and print strip maps from my master
map. Before printing I use the photo software to draw the track line on the
strip map(s). Two strip maps will fit comfortably on A4. On the reverse side
I print the Navlog and destination airfield plate side by side in A5. For
most shorter trips this means that all I use is one piece of A4. Of course I
carry the chart in case I need it for major rerouteing but normally it stays
neatly folded in my navbag.
