A new Navidata update for the U.S.A has been posted for MGL G1 and G2 EFIS systems.
Contains a composite of data sources from FAA/NACO, NAVAID, NIMA and MGL.
Airports/waypoints/navaids/airspaces/obstacles
Navigate your way to www.MGLAvionics.co.za and click on "Navidata files maintained by MGL Avionics" on the left button bar.
While you are there, have a look under "EFIS Tools and applications" (accessible from the EFIS buttons on the left).
Look for an application called "MGL Central".
MGL Central is a combination flight planning tool, flight log database and aviation database. It is in Beta and still in rapid fire development but has now progressed to the point where it is useful.
It integrates with Google Maps if you have an internet connection with some interesting features and can also display MGL maps in 3D including airsapces.
The database side is very comprehensive and you can, for example, import the Navidata file mentioned above into its components, edit or add to it as you like and re-export it to a Navidata file for your EFIS.
MGL Central is free and updates are posted every few days at current as the development progresses with more and more features added as we go along.
Consider joining the MGL users forum at http://MGLAvionicsUsers.org where you can directly contribute if you like or keep abreast of latest developments. You can also find things like sectional maps for your EFIS and navidata files contributed by the MGL user community.
