Temporary wiki. Please read before changing: thanks!
 usAir created this wiki to hold the entire contents of the Airline Route Mapper data file. I've just edited it to remove that data, so should explain why: I appreciate usAir's initiative, but don't think the wiki in that form was a step forward.1.) The data file is IMO too large to post in this location. Some (if not all) browsers load the entire wiki each time the thread is accessed. That had the effect of killing my browser for two to three minutes, then slowing my computer dramatically (and my setup, while not especially good, isn't the world's worst: DSL connection, latest Firefox version, 8GB RAM). 2.) The data initially posted were old ("from the last version of the airline route mapper", according to usAir's post on March 9 2015) and easily accessible (download Link: http://arm.64hosts.com/AirlineRouteMapper.zip), so nothing is lost by removing them from the wiki. IMH -- Latest version (as of 9-Sep-2018) - available at http://depositfiles.com/files/5lu8tsgz4. See post #735 for details. ~LBBZman

Friday I am flying as follows on United...........YYC-DEN-IAD-GIG.
YYC-DEN is 898 miles on the GC mapper and 899 on yours.
DEN-IAD is 1452 miles on the GC mapper and 1450 on yours.
IAD-GIG is 4791 miles on the GC mapper and 4811 on yours.
A difference of 22 miles on a trip of 7141 miles.....a difference of 00.33 %. The UAL website shows the same numbers as the GC mapper.......so I don't think it's arbitrary at all.
I don't see the point.....or what is different. Sorry.

Do pop up boxes look different on your PC? Or are you talking about something else?

Are all text labels for airports readable? The DEN label seems to be missing a shadow, not sure if it is a JPEG artifact or a real problem.
If you use the View|Find menu command to find an airport, then click OK, does the "find result" label show a black text, or is it unreadable as well?

Thanks for looking in to it.

Sweet tool, thanks! I noticed that Air Greenland (http://www.airgreenland.com, airline code GL) is conspicuously absent, though. It would be awesome if you add GL in one of your future updates!

Wow. way cool. Sehr gut!
This is really fun. Are there not any airlines that fly to the Galapogos Islands, or are they just charters? Even if this is a work in progress it is wonderful.
Thank You

The info boxes are hard to read.
The small info boxes that pop up when you hover over a route or airport are in white and the lettering is also in white making them almost impossible to read for me. Is there a way to adjust the color of the background of these boxes?
Thanks!
Thanks!

This is a wonderful tool. Thank you!
I noticed that seasonal flights don't show up. Is this on purpose? For instance, NW goes nonstop to GCM and STT on Saturday's during the winter. I'm sure there are others also. Is there a way to add these myself?
Thanks again!

Yes. I'm sure. The flight I'm on is NW 1731 DTW-STT (Feb 2 08). It's definately not a codeshare with anyone (as far as I know). And the DTW-GCM is flight 1796 (Mar 22 08) which is a codeshare w/ CO, but it's on NW metal.
I can't speak for the flights out of EWR...
