Hi,

what is the reason that the charts, at least from Germany, are so inaccurate? Two examples:
Ammersee: Why is the bird area as well as the control zone shifted by one or two kilometers to West?



Peissenberg:
In the chart, the Ammer rivers flows through the village Peissenberg. This is definitely wrong! It flows about four kilometers east of Peissenberg.



What is the reason for these inaccurate charts? Is there an improvement to expect. it concerns all available chart styles.
This poor chart quality is not really a help for VFR flights. Is the any improvement to expect?

Other vendors tend to use other people's raster basemaps, rather than rendering their own with vectors. Doing the latter is of huge benefit to us, but it makes our job harder. There aren't as many sources of vector basemap data in the world as you might imagine. Perhaps it's time for us to look again at OSM data but we've always found it terribly flawed in the past.

Tim, I would definitely take a hard look at OSM data again. It is being used far and wide and has gotten a lot more reliable. To be frank, I think it would be a significant improvement over what you're using now.

Hi all,

Recognised the same problems in the EDDK, EDKB area. It's unbelievable that you are using such a bad map source for a product like this. Hope there will be a better map early in the future.

Many thanks!!
