Anyone know if georeferenced digital WAC and Airservices charts are currently available anywhere?

Yup

From the website FAQ

The maps are geo-referenced. You will need software that reads map file such as OziExplorer, Memory-Map, Fugawi, these products generally allow you to have a moving map by using signals from a serial or USB GPS connected to your PC.

Some commonsense must have prevailed somewhere because mid-last year, Maptrax stopped doing Oz charts due to some dispute with airservices.

Good to see they're back in business.

Yes, I posted this cause I figure I am due for an upgrade and like UTR, I thought MapTrax were not supplying anymore!

All good thanx.

Yep, they have a deal with ASA for upto date charts too boot. Haven't played with it yet but know of those who have and swear by it. Comes with ERC charts to if you get the IFR version. Georeferenced and will choose the appropriate chart automatically, eg WAC to VTC when required.

And if you have an iPad

Air Nav Pro app supports Geo-refd Airservices charts as well. Ive been using for about a month. So far so good.
