I've recently found Xastir (http://www.xastir.org/), a rather nifty mapping package by/for the HAM radio community. It can display shapefile maps, terraserver (satellite photo) maps, tiger maps, and with some recent patches to the code and some map transformations, it can display sectionals (http://aviationtoolbox.org/raw_data/FAA_sectionals/). It can also dynamically retrieve and display NWS weather radar as an overlay to the maps.
I'm currently discussing with their developer group how FlightGear NMEA output would be input into Xastir. (Also symbology and possible TCAS-like data). Is there any interest in the fgfs community, or is Atlas sufficient?
