[gdal-dev] New OGR driver for X-Plane/Flightgear aeronautical data

[Even Rouault]

Folks,

for those who are interested in aeronautics, I've just commited in SVN trunk a 
new OGR driver 'XPLANE' that can read aerantical data (airports, runways, 
taxiways, navigation aids, IFR intersections, airways)  from a text format 
used by the X-Plane and Flightgear flight simulators.

A few links :

homepage.

Enjoy!
