I have a series of user documents (i.e., plates) that I'd like to add to some airfields in SD. I understand I can upload the documents with the ICAO_ designator to make them available in the relevant tab. I would like to geo-reference them so that they can be appropriately overlaid on the map.

In my mind, it would require the following:
1. SD to make public what file and data format is to be used for geo-referencing PDF documents (must already exist in SD)
2. SD to make geo-rendering available to user documents (some dev effort to extend the existing feature)
3. A tool to be made available for users to geo-reference their documents

On #3, I could provide such a tool if needed as I have already built one for another application.

I believe it would unlock a lot of possibilities for more savvy SD users, especially for IFR flights and small airfields that provide their own plates but are not part of Pooley's / AFE / etc. What do you think?

Interested users, please like this post if you believe this could be a good addition to SD!

(Sorry, I don't use the PC version of SD)

I'd say no need for another .xml, it already is all there in the index.xml for the plates.

(You should give the PC version a try, pretty instructive to see how it is done)
