New database update service

[tarbat]

Interesting new database update service - http://www.dbpop.co.uk/home.html

Note the bit that says "If you have an AirNav Radar Box or Aurora Virtual Radar 3D and are interested in having dbpop, please e-mail your interest by using the link below"

I can't see anything on the site that explains the source of their data.

Maybe Airnav could do a deal with Mark Coles to provide a single data feed to Airnav's central database?

Hmm interesting

How did you find it tarbat?

To be honest, for £30 it seems a decent punt, however at the moment, there's not enough info about the organisation, its resource or security of the whole package for my liking?

would be interested to see if anyone knows of them though

It's being discussed on the SBS-1 forum

Looks interesting, but as you say tarbat, be interest to know source first.

Also "Maybe Airnav could do a deal with Mark Coles to provide a single data feed to Airnav's central database?"  could be good idea, be of benefit to both, if source is good.

I thought it might benefit Mark to do a deal with Airnav as well.  Maybe something like a 6 month trial period, off the back of which Mark could prove the quality of the data he can provide, and maybe Airnav then endorsing his service.

Otherwise I think he may struggle to get customers, up against the proven track record of GAS.

I particularly like the UNPOP option, especially as it will look at long term wfu/stored aircraft as well as re-registrations.  I have always said that is a needed feature.
