But it's sooooo useful for learning that someone is training buzzards in the London FIR......

With modern IT, why can't there be an interactive method of entering points on a map (e.g. MS Autoroute style 'drawing pins'), then asking for NOTAMs to be displayed pictorially and in text form for a user-specified time period and distance from the route. E.g. from 0900-1300 tomorrow for anything within 30 miles of the specified track?

The plethora of co-ordinates in the UK NOTAM brief make it virtually useless for quick reference - it's almost just a TCIC site for the UK AIS.
