OK, downloaded all the charts, copied to USB drive, so how do you display the charts on the GRT EFIS?

On an HX display, go to a map page, select an airport and its details. There is a "Plates" button.

This is an amazing thread! I vote that it be given Hall of Fame recognition. Or start a Hall of Fame section by renaming the "RV Threads: The Best Of The Best (copies)" to "Hall of Fame Threads."

Man,
You guys are killing me.
You just dont know how many people are using something until it stops working. Which it did and my email filled up.
FAA decided to move the URL to a new location. Had to make a script mod to fix it. First change in the code in over a year. Wish my stuff at work lasted that long

Thanks to all you Johnny on the spot folks for letting me know your using it.
Updates here.

Version 3.0 of the approach plates program is now available.
This upgrade is required in order for your downloadplates program to work.
FAA changed file locations once again.

This program allows you to download current approach plates in PDF form to your hard drive for use on your iPad, GRT EFIS, computer, Android, or any other device capable of viewing PDF's.
Holler if you have any trouble.
Enjoy,

Mike,
will you be updating the charts scripts? I find them very useful also.

Kahuna · #37 06-14-2011, 01:46 PM

Yeah I can do that too. Didnt think anyone was using it.
Gimmie a couple days.

Thank you, thank you!!! I am using your script for the approach plates for my GRTs. Have not read your update yet.

I made the update this evening and the new program is running now updating the approach plates for my GRTs.

thanks,

The charts program is still working fine.

Ok, I'm not the most computer literate guy, but neither are the two buddies who have tried to help me. I have tried to follow Kahunas instructions, but am not getting past "After you install active perl, you will need to install the xml package. At the command prompt type "ppm install xml-xpath" without the quotes." Guys, that's not far into his instruction (shows you how computer challenged I am).

One of the buddy's suggested emailing or getting a hold of Kahuna, but I don't want to bother him because he was nice enough to do all this and the last thing he needs is a computer dummy calling and asking for a walkthrough. Just curious if anybody has any additional info that might be helpful? I tried it on a MAC and windows program without luck. Thanks a bunch. Dave
