New AOPA Flight Planner

It is currently in beta mode, but will go live on the 17th, I think. I have only played with it a little, but seems to work good. The price is right anyway. :lol:
What do you guys think?

I've been beta testing it for a while, and I think it is alright. There are currently some problems with it, for example: you can't select winds aloft for various altitudes :? The map doesn't show which airports have gas, it won't make calculations for stopping at more than one airport along a route, it won't let you make a 'no-wind' flight plan, or plan a flight for the next day...there are some other things as well, but I think that they are being worked on. It also seems to have the occasional problem loading the terrain chart, among other things.
