Google Earth airspace now available
A Google Earth format file (kmz) is now available on the download page. This file can be used to view airspaces in 3D using Google Earth. You can fly through the airspace you intend to use to familiarise yourself with it before you fly. If you have GPS track logs you can load them into Google Earth at the same time and check to see if you have made any airspace infringements.
In addition to supporting Google Earth, the software that generates these files has had numerous bug fixes and other improvements. Also the CAA have updated their source data files to fix various airspace bugs (some of which were identified by this project), so if you have previously downloaded the Garmin or Brauniger files you should update them to the latest release.
If you find any issues please report them on the forums so that I can address them.

I now have my system up and
I now have my system up and running for converting CAA PDF documents to KML & KMZ. These maps are 100% up-to-date.
You can use the KML files online to create a flight plan at http://flightplan.netau.net/live/
You can download 3D airspace maps in Google Earth KMZ format from http://flightplan.netau.net/KMZ/
These files are produced from maps published by LINZ at koordinates.com, and subject to http://koordinates.com/license/attribution-3-0/ (Essentially, you can't sell them, or anything derived from them. But you can give them away).
I have had a report that there are some difficulties with accessing the web site... I'm not sure what the issue is. Maybe it's because the mapping page uses Javascript? If anyone does have problems accessing the map, please do get back to me so I can sort it out.
