Pete it would be nice if this scource had global coverage but as far as I can tell it only cover the U.S. though. (website posted below)
It is real easy and simple to set up a Xcountry flight route to get headings, distance, and geographic coordenates. You simply left click any where you want on the map and then you select start, then you left click on a destination point and select END and it draws a straight line on the map between the two points. You can even put several points in between start and end points to make a multiple route xcountry trip.
Left clicking on your route lines will give you a pop-up window to give you true and magnetic headings and measured distance between each point on each leg of the route you made. To erase everything you click on "clear settings" up top on the header bar at the top of the map.
And if you click the baloon markers on the airports it can take you to the website for each aiport where you can collect runway, radio frequencies, elevation, etc for that airport where you can jot it down for use in your Xc trip. It's very nice for planning a cross country trip and pretty accurate to use the info in FS9. Would be nice if they covered the world.
Also is very handy for using the data for use in putting/locating a house and airstrips that are not in FS9 by using the coordinaces, headings, and distance info. You could even possibly use it to map out and place a small lake or a pond to locate in FS9 and making the lake/pond with AFCAD and using the data to locate it into FS9.
here is the website, you guys may already know of it:
