I thought I'd share my update to my alliances.dat file. It includes a number of non-Alliance FF partners.

This is an incredibly useful tool, much appreciated!! ^^

I am finding this version isn't working right for me. I chose Star Alliance airlines and also used a customized UA and US and the cities and routes did not show up correctly.

Do you get to see nothing at all, or incorrect/missing cities/routes?
Can you post a screenshot please?

Thanks!

Not sure how I post a screen shot. I could send it to you via email of course.

For example: I select UA US customized and hit Charleston (CHS) and it only shows one route: CHS-CLT. I know that United flies there from IAD and ORD, but they do not show up.

Previous version did not do this.

I like imageshack.us.

Thanks - I'll be using it going forward. I have seen the ImageShack before too, but was not sure what it was for.

Example screenshot below:

Routes to IAD and ORD are now flown by regional subsidiaries. To display them, enable the codeshares button on the toolbar (in the data I have, it is not possible to differentiate between regional subsidiaries and codeshares with other airlines).

Worked perfectly. Thank you.

New data available
 

An update is now available.

• Route maps updated to reflect June 2009.

Will repeat, thanks for the great tool!

Great! Thanks!

Just a friendly bump

OpenFlights now incorporates the Airline Route Mapper's route database, so you can check out the routes for virtually any airport online. OpenFlights is a free flight logging/mapping/stats tool. This should be especially handy for Mac and Linux users who are unable to run Airline Route Mapper.

See the OpenFlights thread for details.

Hello!

I'm new here, and I found out about your program in a thread in Skyscrapercity forums. I liked the idea, and decided to update the airline routes in my country (Brazil), according to the data available at the Brazilian Air Navigation Management Center (CGNA) website.

I've included (or updated) all the routes of the following companies listed below:

JJ - TAM
G3 - GOL
AD - Azul
O6 - OceanAir
6M - Air Minas
8R - Trip
TE - Team
Y8 - Passaredo
WH - Webjet
P8 - Pantanal
M6 - Meta Linhas Aéreas
ABJ - Abaeté
NHG - NHT Linhas Aéreas
C7 - Rico Linhas Aéreas
S5 - Sete Linhas Aéreas
J6 - Cruiser Linhas Aéreas

So I used Microsoft Access to import all the data, then updated the .dat files (2009-06-29 release) and uploaded them to the 4shared link below:

http://www.4shared.com/file/11498051...ercitycom.html

I thought you might be interested in adding these info to the original program database, so I came here to show them to you. :D

There are some smaller regional companies in this list (ABJ e NHG don't even have an IATA name), but some others are major companies nowadays, like 8R and WH.

If you want, I can upload some sort of incremental update or something like that, since I had to include some smaller airports as well.

That's it, thanks for your attention, and I hope I've been useful. :)

Can u help me to make a code for connection time calculation?
 

[QUOTE=cockpitvisit;8765395]Hello,

Hi nice german, you have done a good job with this software. I wonder how the combination's of routes were done in the UI.

I am trying to make a travel portal kind of thing, i want to suggest the best connection timings between two airports, even with stop overs... It will be helpful, if you can give a patch of code or so, even suggest some open source existing piece... I was Let me know your thoughts on it..

Hats off for your work, it speaks for itself :cool:.

Regards,
J Alex

Thanks, this is most appreciated! I'll add these new routes in the future.

This is not necessary, because I will get the changes by simply comparing the original and modified routes.dat file.

My program doesn't have anything to do with timings, so I doubt I can help here. Sorry.

Future updates to the tool?
 

Can we expect further updates to the tool? It's been immensly valuable to me and while I understand some of it's functionality is available on openflights.com, it doesn't replace the tool in situations where internet access is unavailable (inflight!) or where it's slow (developing world). I would therefore hope that the OP will continue to update the tool with new schedules on a monthly basis.

Caesar

Yes, a new update is in the works.

Nice tool. Would be interested in a web version too! Thanks!

See www.openflights.org

cool. i've been looking for something like this thanks!

New update
 

An update is now available.

• Route maps updated to reflect September 2009.

Thanks again. :)

Very useful tool.

Much gratitude for the time and effort you must have put in to this!

Best regards

New update
 

Another update is now available.

• Route maps updated to reflect October 2009.
• Over 70 new airlines added.

A couple of us here use ARM almost daily; we are SO appreciative of the effort in making this available.

With the updates being so regular and frequent, is there ANY way to make the updating be automatic? At least for us, it is very clumsy to update.

Maybe in the future. For now, the program simply reminds you after one month of use to visit the website for any updates that may appear.

I just saw this for the first time yesterday. I was hoping something like this existed, and I'm glad I stumbled upon it. Thanks so much for the time and effort that you put into this!

You can use the ARM data online at http://openflights.org , in which case you don't need to do anything at all to update, since the site is already using the new route data.

The interface is, naturally, quite different, but it gets the job done: punch in any airport or airline name into the search box, and it'll show your route maps & data. If there's something you can do with ARM that you can't do adequately with OF, please let me know!

Hi there and thank you for a great mapping tool! I was wondering if you would be adding air cargo routes from airlines like UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. anytime soon?

Welcome to FlyerTalk, lpyles1.

He will have to added more cargo airlines is UPS, FedEx and others, too. He will working on it soon as possible. He will able posted it onto the thread. You should have little bit more patience for awhile.

Thanks for update. How about switching Continental (CO) and CO subsidiaries to Star Alliance? :)

The November update isn't out yet, but thanks for reminding ;)

November update available
 

A new update is now available.

• Route maps updated to reflect November 2009.
• CO moved to Star Alliance.

^, but not all of it (Air Mike).

CO micronesia shows as CO codeshares in the tool (make sure you enable codeshares). Unfortunately, I have no data on which carrier actually operates codeshares, so it is not possible to restrict codeshares e.g. to the ones bookable for RTW travel.

Congratulations, wonderful tool!
Just a note: TAAG (DT) has been flying LAD-GRU-LAD since April 09, 3x a week with a 747-300 (74D).

The Zen of Route Maps
 

From this column of mine, some time ago...
http://www.salon.com/tech/col/smith/...skthepilot240/


“Next time you're aloft, flip to the back pages of the inflight magazine. I could spend hours studying those maps, immersed in a kind of pilot porno, besotted to speechless stupor by those three-panel foldouts and their exploding nests of arcs and lines.”

Route maps are becoming more and more rare.

But what I really miss are TIMETABLES. Don't get me started on that.
