Am rather concerned re map accuracy.

Flew from N Yorks to Boston today. Part of route was throgh the stub between Cranwell and Coningsby. I particularly noticed a difference of some 0.5 miles between Garmin (Jeppesen) and SkyDemon re the southern stub boundary. According to SD I reached the s Boundary about 0.5 miles before Garmin said so. One has to be wrong. Pains me to say it but suspect Jeppesen is correct.

Other than that 8410/SD worked flawlessly.

Also location of my home field, Husthwaite is wrong in SD. I know this because when you are on the runway, airfield loaction on SD is about 0.3 miles south.

Conversely, all roads are exactly right  .. going by test when just driving about.

Any thoughts Tim?

Thanks for speedy response as ever.

Must have chosen some accurate intersections!

Re MATZ, agree it does not matter much at all. Just interesting.
