Field notes
Lettering options include bubble, line, and cursive styles, plus 18 symbols; the page limits designs to 100 waypoints. A simulated autopilot preview reports an A/P score for how closely the planned shape may be followed. The site also describes an airspace overlay that updates as the design moves or its altitude changes, using FAA data it says is refreshed every 28 days.
