Unlicensed Airports etc & Garmin 296

[avid_flyer]

Hello Everybody

 

I have just bought a Garmin 296, and just "presumed" that unlicensed aiports whould have been on the database... silly me!

 

Is there an "easy" way of adding these airports, ALA's etc into the database..

 

Thanks

There are a number of ways. The simplest way I have found is to load them from Champagne Flightplanner (see the reviews section). I have also added some VFR waypoints and other airstrips by hand. Of course you could fly there and push the button to mark the spot:cool:

 

You could also use the waypoint manager that can be downloaded from the Garmin site.

 

Let us know how you go.

 

Regards

Thanks Mike

 

Waypoint Manager worked a treat!

 

Was able to add approx 60 airfields (and min details) in a few hours.

 

And now I have copy of them backed up on my pc.

 

Thanks again
