SkyCharts

So after some feedback on improvements I’ll do some changes and release 1.1 before resuming work with adding AF/D and TPP.

I have also spent a lot of time trying to workaround the pinch/zoom bug, but nothing seems to work so far. I’ll shift focus a little bit and work on other things. And maybe I will even hear back from Apple at some point ?

If you have some suggestions please let me know on the forum!

(PM me if you want to keep it non public).

So have been able to retrieve AF/D and TPP (aka airport facilities directory and terminal procedures publication) for all airports into sqlite3 (via mysql on server).
Now working on distance calculations and presenting the data on the iPhone when selecting an airport.

I guess iTunes Connect want a break too, but come on, closed for the holidays when people have a lot of time on their hands to buy apps ?

Wonder when it will show up ?

Adding a sqlite3 database starting with airport data from
the FADDS: Facility Aeronautical Data Distribution System

Currently this is my todo list.SkyCharts will eventually split into the DeLuxe version with WX and airport data, and the basic SkyCharts.

• Fix the multi gesture bug for zoom/unzoom. No word from Apple on filed bug. Will try working on workaround.
• Add database of airports.
• Add Weather - will start with adding a simple dot for color for WX status for airports in 100NM of range.
• Add reachability delegate to warn about downloading using Edge.
• Add Terminal Charts ?
• Add Alaska/Hawaii and Canadian Charts ?
  (if possible, I believe the Canadian charts are geo referenced but not sure).

Any other suggestions are welcome. I’ll try commenting on how difficult each feature would be.
