Hi MGL forum, thanks for accepting my membership.
I have just recently aqquired a Sonex tailwheel aircraft in Norway, MGL Voyager equipped - without a map database. May I ask for any assistance, where to purchase/download to SD following installation into the MGL Voyager ?
kind regards

I used Openflightmaps.org for Finland and Sweden (EPSG3857 tiles and ARINC424 airspace data). Norway seems to be not supported yet, but you may want to contact ofm about the status of it.
The conversion was relatively easy but required a bit of massaging for airspaces (line-ending change).

Hi Philippo, could you please take us by the hand in this 'massaging thing', because we're not all (at least I ain't) software specialists.....
Is there a way you could teach us? TEams or whatever?

I am also very interested in how to use the ARINC-424 data and convert it to .ewd files that the iEfis is using.
I have tried a lot of different ways importing the arinc data to MGL-Central software but it does not seem to really read the file correctly when importing it, you are hinting about some massaging of the Arinc file? Line ending edits? Could you please describe this a little bit more in detail? @plippo
Example of the content in the ARINC-424 file:

I solved the problem with the ARINC-424 text file.
Opened it into Visual Studio and resaved it according to the following encoding:
