Note: the file on this post has been updated from 1.3 to 1.5, see my response below in the thread for the reason.

Hey guys, I improved upon a some user waypoints (KML) originally distributed several years ago by Advflying. Figured I'd share it with everyone. The two original KML files were merged into a content pack, a couple of duplicate strips were deleted, and the labels were improved quite a bit from original. Please let me know if you guys see anything that should be changed or added.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Pretty cool, thank you!!

I thought I was pretty good with Foreflight. First, what a great project and my sincere thanks.

Possible to give me a short tutorial on uploading your files into Foreflight? Thanks.

Sure, you'll need to first get the file to your device. I'm only familiar with the iPhone/iPad process, so Android may be different.

Step 1: Use some sort of cloud service to share the file to your device or download the file directly to your phone/tablet.
Step 2: Long press the zip file from your file browser and select "share"
Step 3: Share it directly to the Foreflight app.
Step 4: You will find the new layers at the bottom of the layer dropdown from the map screen

If you want to remove the content, navigate to settings>custom content, select the content pack and select delete.

I hope that helps.

Also one quick clarification: the strips file is meant to locate strips which do NOT already show up on Foreflight maps. IE: hoodoo meadows was deleted from the file because it now shows up on Foreflight.

Guys, important update, I swapped out the file for a "1.5" version because I realized the 1.3 that I uploaded was not centering the icon over the point but rather the entire label over the point which made them scale funny and created a bit of confusion. The new file has the icon centered properly over the point. I also added the mouth of big creek, Napoleon ridge, and Williams creek summit.

Anyways, I'm happy to continue to add bonafide reporting points to the pack. I'd really like for this to be a good safety tool for aviators because there seems to be a lot of confusion in the back country about reporting points and I hear quite a few calls which I consider to be non-standard and difficult for pilots who are new to the area to interpret.

Thank you for doing this and publishing it for free. Inspirational…I need to get busy and do likewise for sections on the way to Alaska.

Well that took about 15 seconds to install. Thanks for all the wonderful pro bono work.
