It misses out lots of gliding sites and their cable warnings. With only 368 (?) airfields depicted, that was inevitable.

I wonder how many other hazards it misses.

Stand by for lots of people doing flight planning with this infringing various things, and one day perhaps having a real nasty.

(I have seen airprox reports of aircraft just missing gliders and cable though not using the 1:500,000 official chart. As well as people who ignore the chart even if they have the right one. I just don’t think it is a good idea to plan to use data which misses such things.)
