Since this is a non-searey specific issue, I'll post to the S&D site - if folks think it should go to the tech site, I'll move it.<br /><br />I'll start by saying I have not tried this product and am hoping someone with the time will try it and write an evaluation here. However, at first blush, it appears very interesting.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.fboweb.com/">www.FBOWeb.com</a> has 'layers' for Google that show many things. Some you buy, some are free - I believe the special use airspace is free.<br /><br />I got the below info at: <a href="http://www.fboweb.com/fb40/pu/info/gep.aspx">http://www.fboweb.com/fb40/pu/info/gep.aspx</a><br /><br />'There are a number of 'overlays' you can include with Google Earth that will enhance your flight fligh tracking experience. For example, you can add a layer which provides a 3D representation of special use airspace around the United States; see the Class B airspace in its true form around Orlando International Airport (click the thumbnail on the left for an example). Another useful add-on is the collection of Sectional maps. You can load in any one of the US aviation sectional maps for any given area.'<br /><br />Has anyone tried this? <br />

It looks interesting, Ken, although I haven't actually tried it yet--because I'm too cheap to ante up the ten bucks a month. (But I love Pilot My-Cast weather on my cellphone for about the same price!).<br /><br />But if you're in the AOPA, you have 'free' access to their terrific Real-Time Flight Planner. (Runs only in Microsoft Windwoes.) The newest version can overlay weather info on the flight planner map.
