James, while I'm pretty much in favour of spatial indices, note that a lot of work in that direction has been done already. As far as I know, Mathias Fröhlich has written a general templated spatial index for simgear. I've the code with me, but haven't found time to look at it yet (Sorry

As you may have noticed, Erik has recently overhauled (or rather rewritten) xmlgrep. That's a fast utility for finding properties in an XML file. It works with any XML file, not just our internal PropertyList flavor. In many cases a simple recursive grep isn't good enough. If you do a simple

Attached patch refactors the KLN89 code to use the same navaid / fix / airport storage as the rest of FG - instead of copying each (large) list when the instrument is initialised. This gets rids of the _waypoints member of DCLGPS - the waypoint class is still used in the internal
