In the meantime we have more georeferenced ground charts than ever before, and there are from official sources and should be trusted. If you prefer another piece of software, then use it. I will ask you not to come on this forum to suggest other people do though.

They seem to have a lot of airport information vectorized already. Hi, I‌ had a look at 5 airfields I know quite well on OSM. 3 were wrongly represented. There is nothing wrong, since it's an opened/shared effort and airfield are not points of interest for most OSM contributors but I'm afraid it's not the quality we need, as pilots. ‌ M‌‌

Group: Forum Members Posts: 8.1K, Visits: 9.4K	Geohawk, it is very unwise to take a rejection of one personal idea as a rejection of contributions in general. I apologise if I have caused any hurt feelings. We get thousands of ideas written to us and I shouldn't really be on this forum posting answers myself (it's not my job), but I do. I do not have any reason to doubt my business acumen, though I appreciate your concern. Mim‌‌brok, we have georeferenced the vast majority of airfield plates in Europe. If there are any remaining there is a chance that they were unsuitable for some reason, but please contact customer support by email (there's a form on our website) and they will be able to explain more, and double-check for you.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 23, Visits: 46	+x Tim Dawson - 8/7/2017 11:00:17 AM Out of interest, how much would you be willing to pay, in order for us to produce vector maps of all airfields in Europe in the way you suggest? Oh, I would pay 20 a year more for the Taxi option. +x Tim Dawson - 8/10/2017 2:20:50 PM We can only include aeronautical information if we have assurances of the quality that OpenStreetMap simply cannot provide. Tim, I can see that you're a decent programmer (or have some) by the product you've created, but I'm not too sure about your business acumen. The way you treat people in the very forums you've designed to funnel their ideas (valuable IP) into your product, is notorious. I appreciate the brevity of your answers, but I can't understand the reasoning behind such curt replies to well-intended suggestions and comments. Your replies don't encourage continued dialog, or communal discussion. Despite your quick gun-down of this suggestion, I'll still present my idea, just so you know that my response isn't predicated on being rejected. ‌ ‌The idea wasn't to 1:1 OSM's data. It was to use their vectors, in addition to a QA/QC process to ensure that their data is high quality, and ratifying it, where necessary. Being a mapping professional mysefl, this idea comes from years of dealing with projection, scale, accuracy, fidelity and repeatability issues. ‌So, in the end, the hint I receive is to stop posting valuable considerations. No need for response to this comment, as it is my last on your forums. Thanks for the great product, no complaints about the work you've done.
