Well, that sounds like Plan-G....

EDIT: BTW, here is a teaser of some additional features to be added "soon" to Plan-G...

Approach procedures and taxi diagrams.
I believe .kmz file support too...

EDIT EDIT: Oh I see support for the .kml files on the toolbar in the screenshot. Yippee!

Oooh, that looks great. I already have plan-G playing on a second monitor, flying an approach with it would a be great addition.

Cheers, Rob

Agreed, Plan-G seems to be getting better all the time.

I use a real world planner Voyager when flying In the U.S. and a limited area of Canada, as I get scanned Sectionals and all my IAP plates included within my plan in one program, but did use Plan-G exclusively on a previous European tour, and it worked great. the addition of approach info will start make me wonder if I should use it instead. If I could get all my elevation per way-point info in addition to the pattern, it would even be better....wonder if that is possible via the FS database?

In Google Earth, I have sectional map overlays for CONUS.
I am really hoping that one day Tim will add that ability as well to Plan-G.
Aaaand eventually fuel/range calculation.

But I agree, despite it being resource heavy at times (Why its networked on the laptop now), I use Plan-G every flight and highly recommend it.
Looking forward to the approaches, and especially the taxiway diagrams!
