There is a help page which describes these features in more detail. The website went online a week ago. Give it a try - I am interested to get your feedback at info@flyagogo.net. The site is under constant development. Click the blog link if you are interested. Cheers, - Leif. The website at

After a bit of a break, I'm working on improvements again. A few people have requested the ability to bookmark a location, so I'll add that. Frank pinged me about adding Canadian airports, which I'll do as well. I also wish that the Canadian charts were available in an inexpensive digital form. I can buy all of the U.S. mainland sectionals and terminals for $23.40. Now that is a bargain! Thanks for the post about RunwayFinder. After a bit of a break, I’m working on improvements again.
