Not until now I just figured, most of the time when you get to the
map, you want either see who's online, or make yourself always center
anyway. I've just committed the change :)

Yes. For a start, I have put all the data from apt.dat into a
database (mysql), and I've got a script working to do some simple query
from it and response with XML (which can be used in the map).
I'll need to sort of the drawing/marking of airports and runways,
etc. And yes I'll probably have a elements be visible only at a certain
zoom levels. I certainly don't want to display all airports on the map
when you are at the view of the entire world. ;)
What I'm actually not sure is, what would make sense for a pilot.
Like, what would pilots lookup and want to find out on the map when they
want to fly from A to B. And what will be the "workflow" of planning a
flight on a map like this. Things like that.
Pigeon.
