Fly•Walk•Eat - AirVenture trip planning tool

I added two features to Fly•Walk•Eat this week, perfectly timed for those traveling to AirVenture...

1) You can now enter a route (ie: GTU - OSH) to see all "On Field Restaurants" across your whole route.
2) I added a special map for AirVenture Fuel Service & Discounts, curated from various lists across the inter webs. Some things look better on a map rather than lists, and this is one of them.

Any suggestions or improvements? I'm all ears. See ya' next week at the HBC area.

Fabulous tool, Marc. Seems like there is a range limit. Suggest you increase that a bit. For instance, ILG-AZO won't run, as the displayed leg ends around Sandusky, OH - but, it's a doable leg for my airplane. Thanks!

NIIIIICE!!

Is it possible to add a "hover to identifier, fuel price, etc"?

No matter, as Paul said, this is "way cool!"

Fixed! Thanks for wringing out the bugs (and the kind words).

Yes,cool tool! Even helps driving to OSH finding camping. Surprise, Iowa has some campgrounds closed due to lots of rain.

Just in time for AirVenture (barely), I rewrote the algorithm that determines OnField/Walkable/Drivable to include ramp location, airport fences, and runway / interstate boundaries. If you search for OnField restaurants for example, you'll get restaurants that are actually closer to your tie down.
