AirNav - when are we going to start seeing routes being properly validated by this new algorithm that is supposedly now in operation ? 

Clearly if the network sees an aircraft landing at CDG, it's not rocket science to work out that it can't be flying from Canada to Cuba !

And answer - predictably - came there none.

I guess that tells us all we need to know ...

Dave,

If you want to help out please send us a document (xml, database) to provide us the routes which we are missing and we will do our best to add it to the database.

Please do not continue posting like this as we do not have the man power to individually go through posts and add them. Thanks.

[DaveReid]

If you want to help out please send us a document (xml, database) to provide us the routes which we are missing and we will do our best to add it to the database.

I certainly don't have any problem providing updates in XML format and/or as email attachments, if that makes it easier for you to use them.

I'm assuming that you're happy with the schema as it's one that you specifically requested: www.airnavsystems.com/forum/index.php?topic=5333.msg53551#msg53551, and that as you've asked for that format, you have a process that can easily import them.

Just tell me where you'd like them sent.

Please do not continue posting like this as we do not have the man power to individually go through posts and add them. Thanks.

You're forgetting one important thing - as we've seen from the main Improved Routing Information thread, many members are interested in keeping their own local flights database up-to-date while you sort out yours.

The route updates are as much for their benefit as yours.  In fact there appears to be a demand for an easy-to-use utility with which less technically-inclined members can maintain their routes databases - if there's enough interest, I'll look at the possibility of providing one.

[dumpty]

Cheers Dave.

The technical term for this is a "clerical assistant".

Get it done and there's a cheque in the post young Dave.

[AirNav Support]

Understood Dave.

We are working on a way to get some of these routes bulk update and will provide a method soon. Please be patient with us.

In meantime we do ask not to provide individual flight routes on this forum. While there may be users who want to update there local databses, we will provide a method to bulk update so this is not needed.
