New air travel planning tool released [outwardflight]
Hi,
Now I have released my map-based air travel planning tool. You can find it here:
http://www.outwardflight.com
The tool is web-based, but requires the Silverlight 3 plugin.
The flight data is kept in a central database, where you also can save your journeys, for dsiplay or edit at a later time.
The present functionality is limited, but as the map used is Microsoft Bing map, the potential for future development is very great.
In the Outwardflight support forum you can vote on future improvements, and give other feedback.
The tool uses the Airline Route Mapper database, generously made freely available by the author. See this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=759472
Like Airline Route Mapper , Outwardflight is a hobby project, which I have made for my own education and enjoyment.
I hope some of you will find it useful!

Hi,
Outwardflight has now been completely reengineered and moved to the web application Flajts at http://www.flajts.com. It is still using the Airline Route Mapper (ARM) data. (Thank you again for making the data freely available, cockpitvisit!)
Flajts is much simpler to maintain than Outwardflight, and will be updated very soon after each new ARM release.
Flajts is completely web based, and no plug-ins are needed. It is built with Google maps. You can reach it from any computer connected to the internet, provided you use a reasonable new web browser (for Internet Explorer that means version 8 and newer).
Note that Flajts cannot be used offline.
Flajts has a similar, but not equal, functionality as ARM. It lacks some functions, implements other in a different way, and has (I believe) an additional function: You can more easily find all two-flight routes between any two airports.
Please use this thread, or the contact form of the Flajts application to convey your additional functionality wishes (and bug reports, if any)!
