Adding VFR layer to Global Mapper

Mike,
Wondering if there is a WMS server that shows FAA sectionals that could be added to Global Mapper as a layer. This would be great for helping to determine if UAV usage would meet FAA requirements like 400 foot ceiling, 5 miles from airport, VFR rules, etc. Is there a WMS address for sectionals?

Hi Brian,
These might help you. You can add a WMS source to GM on your own system as well. I'm actually going to add these now. Also note, the FAA sectionals are in GeoPDF format so those can be imported into GM as well.
Right now I'm trying to figure out if I can find some digital data for the sectors to build a 3d representation for Google Earth.

Hi Brian,
I've snagged the sources from http://wms.chartbundle.com/wms and built an XML file you can import into Global Mapper. Just choose load from file when you open up the Online Sources dialogue box. I've categorized them as per the chartbundle.com site.
