I think they are called "wild cards"
Prepare cards with the name of the airway/NAVaid/whatever on one side and details on the other. Shuffle the cards and try to tell whats on the other side of the card. Easier with two people. (helps both ways as you get to identify the airway from route points or get to name the route points from the name)
Get a map with the points and airways drawn but no names. Pick a card and try to point it out on the map.
helped me, hope it helps you.

Draw the map over and over and over. I always found that about the time I started to get really angry with the map, I also pretty much had it memorized. It also helped me to break maps up into quadrants and memorize it that way. Then when I moved on to learn the next quadrant, the previous one seemed friendly and familiar in comparison. Funny things, these brains...

Why did we stop using colours? Life was so much more poetic when Blue 1 crossed Amber 1 but Green 1 was miles down to the South.
Sorry; thread drift.

Strangely enough, coloured airways went at about the same time that coloured radar screens appeared. Spooky coincidence?

Thanks for the ideas. I think the "one VOR at a time" approach will work well for me. As for all the crazy reporting points, I do word associations in my head. Tackle one little piece at a time.
