How can I add Graphical map data like Obstacles

[faisalasif]

I am interested in adding airports, NAV data (VOR, NDB), Rivers, lakes and Obstacles for my own area which is in Middle East.

I understand that you guys are developing such databases for US and Europe but in queue, i dont see my area to be covered soon.

what tools can i use to enter the data and how can I update the skyview?

Regards

When we have data, it will be for the whole world, as it will be from Jeppesen. It will not be Europe only.

Do you have a source of free data for your region? If you have data in ARINC-424 format, we can look in to generating a database for the SkyView. There is no other way to put data in except ARINC-424, and then we need to convert that file to our internal format.

Yes, I have access to free data for my own region. It will cost me to get it digitized, which i am willing to venture in to.

But the problem is i need to study ARINC-424 format .... I will do this tomorrow .. will get back to you as soon as i know the ARINC-424 format!

would the obstacles like buildings, rivers and lakes or city ruster maps also be in ARINC-424 format????

how can i add them cause they would not be in ARINC-424 format, as per my own understanding.

Obstacles would need to be in the FAA's format, which you will need to research yourself.

Water is already in the database for the whole world, and you should have that today.

We don't do cities today so there is no format for that yet, and we don't do any raster maps.
