Airport prefix with B? about avare HOT 5 CLOSED

Will do so. Need to analyze Canadian database as many airports in Canada match code with US in the open database for Canada.

from avare.

If Canada uses a different prefix, and I'm assuming they do, couldn't you just parse the first letter (which you're doing already) and choose the database based on the letter? K checks US and b checks Canada, etc?

Additionally, one suggestion I'll toss out is changing the format of the waypoints sentences. We have software where I work that prioritizes the various types (airport, fix, navaid, etc) in the order you specify in settings. Then if there is confusion between multiple types you postfix it with a / and a letter code for type.

Kbna/a for airport
Javta is usually known as a fix already because 5 letters instead if 4 or less but can be specific with /f
Kbna/n if there was a navaid by the same name

Etc.
Not sure this is necessary berceuse you're pretty much already doing this, but I thought I'd give an example of other software I've seen.

Good points. Had to release this in a hurry so chose the easiet way. Should
be able to change it soon.

No biggie. Just throwing out suggestions. If the sentence format already works, no need to change it. I was just throwing out examples, really. I like to help out with OS projects that I use, but I don't always have time for the coding itself, so I suggest neat features or ways to fix things.

Wow, awesome. I love the new way it works. It's amazingly simple and definitely less confusing than putting a b in front. Unless some country uses b ;)
