Congratulations Tim! A really well deserved award to you, and the team, for a remarkable piece of software.

James Chan wrote:100% sure. Back in the day if your preferred cruising altitude was say 7,000ft-10,000ft then a lot of airspace particularly from Manchester and south was fairly unreadable. If you hovered your mouse over a segment you'd see several layers of overlapping airways. But it worked if your altitude was around 3,000ft or below (not much class A there).
Anyway, it all works very well today now apart from some bits around Manchester and north of that.

I suppose poor old St Garmin never got a mention 25 years ago My 90 saved my navigation life many a time.
Edit: anyone remember the Garmin toblerone?
