The live flight tracker displays the route in the following format:
EHF J65 RBL J1 OED TOU FINGS JOWEN LOHNE ARCAL 5900N 16000W ONEOX B327 NULUK R220 NATES R220 NIKLL R220 NIPPI R220 NANNO R220 NANAC OTR10 ARIES ARIES NORTH
How do i plot it on a map to display the actual path?
This is coming soon – thanks for using FlightAware.
It’s a tedious manual process but it can be done …
1- Click the “Decode” link after the route … this will give you the lat/long for each waypoint
2- Copy the lat/long data for the first waypoint and paste into Notepad
3- Replace the space between the lat and long values with the required separator (typically a comma), and put the other required separator (typically a semicolon) at the end of the line (it should look like dd.mmm,dd.mmm;)
4- Repeat for remaining waypoints
5- Remove all the line breaks, to get a long series of data points (Lat1,Long1; Lat2,Long2; Lat3,Long3; …)
6- Copy the entire series and paste into the mapping routine
You can also copy the whole table and paste into an Excel spreadsheet (make sure to use Paste Special → Paste as Unicode), then copy ONLY the lat/long columns from the Excel and paste into Notepad and repeat above
We now plot the route the map automatically.
How about labeling the waypoints instead of just showing dots on the track?
