There is also the SPINE software, again aimed at glider pilots but again suitable for all VFR flight. It will show a plot of the NOTAMs - obviously you must double-check as all these graphical interfaces seem capable of missing the occasional NOTAM but it helps.

Spine

Also all the various software-based solutions I know of have had occasional glitches when the format they are downloading has altered, another reason for needing to be able to do it using the NATS website.

Personally I think it's high time there was an official, guaranteed graphical interface. IMHO seeing is far easier than reading in this case.
