Hi Clive ... still trying to figure out what we've got here. I think it is a no-brainer ... (but I did one of those yesterday and lost PFJ and Tongass Fjords .. trees where water should be). So I'm being a little careful. Would you like to "play" with this project? You can look at how I'm going to set it up by going to the Cabins Page (Misty's Place/USFS Cabins/Cabins Page). Basically, we'll put up a picture, make a plan G map (trying to stay over water at 1200 feet where possible), and the lat/long of BOTH the actual structure in degrees/minutes XX XX.XX , this also needs an altitude. Next, the gps for the mooring point. (That is where the plane is positioned if you wanted to start there). This includes the Magnetic Heading so your aircraft is position at the pier right or whatever. I will "fancy up" the map, all I need is the pln file and I can ake it from there and make the map jpg.
If you want to "play' with this one, shoot me an email at
mistymoorings@jdlinn.com and I'll shoot your the files I have. There are cabins in Tongass, and then this extra set of about 80 cabins. So I haven't got it all sorted out yet.
Actually, this is a lot of fun. I just did that first one. Took off out of the Sitka Sea Plane Base (with other neat float traffic around). I think part of making this fun is not always coming out of the same airport. But I did try one that is "just a lake" ... nothing around. So we should avoid those .. there should be "something there" I think. Once you have the cvs file, then in Plan-G, you can do a "find" for the waypoint, and it comes right up. Then find an airport around that is interesting ... and fire up the airplane and go find it.
