Saw this on the 120/140 site and really liked it. Simple charting tool that readily shows mapping features and airports on your route of flight.

Thanks Kyle,
Nice site. I especially like the presentation of the terrain along the route.

Re: Navmonster - another flight planning site
Thanks for the tip, Kyle! That's one of the most helpful route planning sites I've seen.
My complaint with most of these sites, including http://www.skyvector.com, http://www.runwayfinder.com, etc., is that the world above the 49th parallel doesn't seem to exist for the creators of these sites. Maybe it's the same for south of the Rio Grande -- I haven't looked. How can we get these folks to start thinking internationally? (Maybe start by convincing NavCanada to make their sectional charts available electronically without charge. We're pretty lucky in the US!)
Best Regards,
John

And for a little bit more information, this site leads us to individual AWOS/ASOS phone numbers and frequencies.
