Western Cape Airstrip Database..
May I suggest that we start a database of Western Cape airstrips to augment those already known here. Also see my posts under ZU-DVE Log
Type, Name, Coordinates, Length, Runways, Description & Info

Let me know which is the most commonly used file system. I use a Garmin III and have Mapsource. I see Mapsource can save in different formatsianrw wrote:Great stuff, pity cant read your main list (cant acces the file)

Grootfontein not listed - also 02/20 dont have co-ords handy though
FAFK probably in your main file
I got the runway #s from my track :
Grootfontein is in my database, not listed in this list - these were the strips where I landed on the 13th, see

The gdb file is the lastest Mapsource file version. If you have a Garmin GPS just go to http://www.garmin.com and download the latest version of mapsource and also check your GPS software version for latest updates.

I have changed the file format to mps and saved it here

Hi Gert & Morpheus,
I went onto the Garmin website and downloaded the Mapsource update. I also downloaded Gert’s database and all is working fine, it looks great !. I will clean up my database and will post it soon. By the way Gert, I see on your track log that you have put in "UTC -2", we are UTC+2, 2hrs ahead of Grenwich.
Incidentally, does the ”.gdb” file extension mean “Garmin DataBase” ?? Anyway, all my Mapsource files are saved as .gdb files.
Those who have mentioned that they cannot access the file perhaps don’t have the Mapsource software.
Happy flying y'all.. :D
