November 23, 201411 yr I'm trying to find a site that shows lat and lon to an intersection so I can fly updated routes in FSX. Do any of you know of a site that will have this? Thank you.
November 23, 201411 yr I use Hi/Lo altitude (USA) charts, FSBuild, Flight Sim Commander, Aivlasoft Electronic Flight Bag, Plan-G, FAA approach plates/SID/STAR and internet site Skyvector.com with maps. Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW
November 23, 201411 yr Commercial Member Yeah, SkyVector (also shows the waypoint on the sectional, or Airnav for text info. Dave Hodges System Specs: I9-13900KF, NVIDIA 4070TI, Quest 3, Multiple Displays, Lots of TERRIFIC friends, 3 cats, and a wonderfully stubborn wife.
November 23, 201411 yr What aircraft are you using? AFAIK, the default FSX GPS has no means to enter specific lat/lon coordinates. If you are using an add-on with an FMS, most likely it will be supported by Navigraph or Aerosoft with updated Nav data that will include the most current intersections and RNAV waypoints. If you are using the CIVA INS add-on, it will, of course, fly to any lat/lon you enter. As others have mentioned, http://www.airnav.com will give you the lat/lon of any named waypoint - but it only covers US airspace, and a small segment of Canadian and Mexican airspace near the respective border regions.

I mean to enter the lat and lon in the FSX planner, then in notepad, rename the waypoints with the intersection names. This will then load into the FSX GPS. I don't mean directly in th GPS itself.

This will then load into the FSX GPS. I don't mean directly in th GPS itself." Now, I have no idea what what you want. Those two posts I wrote mean the same thing. I fly with the default GPS. Many new waypoints are not in FSX due to the due date of FSX in 2005. So I'm trying to find a site that shows the intersections and VORs with the Lat and Lon so I can input that in FSX. And then it will show in the default GPS. Why is that confusing you? I hope that clears what I meant. Using the sites such as Airnav and skyvector said here, I should be good to go.
November 24, 201411 yr "I mean to enter the lat and lon in the FSX planner, then in notepad, rename the waypoints with the intersection names." What file do you open with Notepad ? Also, take a look at this for updates .. it may help you. http://www.aero.sors.fr/navint.html Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW
June 18, 201510 yr Hello ap1, not sure if this information is helpful as this is a while later, but I believe I found what you are looking for. Go to opennav.com, enter in your waypoint in the search bar, and wala! It gives you your latitude and longitude of the waypoints. Hope this helps.

November 17, 20241 yr I wish I knew how you entered them into FSX GPS. I could only get intersections in by using the map.
February 21, 20251 yr I highly, highly recommend Little NavMap. Here's the most pertinent for which you require: [quote]Flight plans and flight plan fragments can be loaded, saved and merged all using the common Flight Simulator PLN files as well as X-Plane FMS format version 3 and 11, FSC and FLP files.[/quote] https://albar965.github.io/littlenavmap.html I have two monitors so Little NavMap is always on the second monitor. Works great and adds situational awareness.
