Speaking of el-cheapo GPS receivers, I just found some Perl scripts that allow me to flash a new database into my very low-end Magellan GPS 315, so I went ahead and dumped in all the Canadian airports, VORs, NDBs, and waypoints from the DAFIF -- I can even get a list of nearest airports with distance and magnetic bearings (I've already found some good prospects I'd overlooked for short cross-countries). If anyone else on the list (a) flies, (b) owns a Magellan GPS 315 or 320, and (c) uses Linux, drop me a line and I'll send the details by private mail.
