Perhaps this has been brought up before, but I see that the ILS "beam" data for each airport on the mpmap is derived from the runway alignment (as verified in taxidraw). This doesn't allow for magnetic deviation, and therefore all the course headings are incorrect. Makes it tough to line up with the ILS, unless you pull info from an outside source (airnav, flightaware, etc) for each arrival airport.
Example at KBTV, runway 15 - mpmap ILS course 130.92 degrees Flightaware ILS approach plate, 146 degrees. KJFK, runway 31L - mpmap ILS course; 301 degrees Flightaware ILS approach plate; 315 degrees. I have not looked at the 850 airport format, but is there a way in any of the apt.dat or nav data to specify ILS approach data accurately? Or is this a question for Pigeon, to see about using a different data list? Currently the heading data is misleading - it would be better to not have it shown than have it incorrect in my opinion.
