I'll have a look at Notam map as well. Thanks.

As for IO540's assertions - well, you're entitled to your opinion. The military would disagree with you for a start - that's possibly why they still employ people to stick pins in maps. Most can't afford that luxury. There are those who have been checking Notams for all the continents and oceans of the world for several decades for one reason or another and some systems are adequate for what they need, but sometimes they need improvement (DIY obviously, as the authorities wouldn't be interested). Yes, much of it is irrelevant to one user or another, but there are flights for which a forest WILL be generated - it just takes imagination to realise that. I seek experience of the UK systems to merge the information for my uses.

BS.
