Update to the maps (and lots of other stuff)
Submitted by admin on Sat, 29/12/2018 - 7:42pm
The NOTAM maps have all been updated to use OpenStreetmaps. Underlying the change is a series of updates to the database that I've been holding back for a few years. It might go wrong, bear with me... Let me know if it does, please.
Some new things you can do:
- There is a new item on the main menu - preferences.
Here you can change your preferences in the same way you can by going to 'my account', then 'edit'. Hopefully, this way is easier. I will withdraw the 'my account' settings in the near future. - Set up the sites you see on your maps.
Sites may be displayed by default, be hidden with the chance t reveal then, or to ignored completely. - Have more comprehensive control over which NOTAMs you see on the maps.
For example, you could set 'kite flying' NOTAMs to be included in the main set, or to be separated, with the opportunity to hide or reveal them on the maps. - See cancelled, or expired NOTAMS.
These are available via the 'Expired NOTAMs' menu item on the left of the page. The storing of old NOTAMs only started during the last day or two, so there isn't much to see at the moment. Eventually there will be six months' worth of expired NOTAMS.
