When generating one sectional it gets a little odd where the sectionals overlap depending what gets drawn first. Oshkosh had its info being cut in half and for such a well known airport that is kind of silly. So I messed with shape files for a while and eventually got a cutout that I think looks good for the area.
I'm starting to work on the IFR charts. Since FAA charts are non-standard there is a lot of manual work to cut out the charts and stitch them together.

I learned a thing. I'm messing around with a way of showing height of an aircraft without just reading the numbers. Lower the cognitive barrier for someone using the map. I tried drop shadows that change based on altitude but they read very poorly over the map so I'm scrapping that idea. I don't want to use color as I want high threat targets to be color coded for traffic alert info when flying. So these leaves perhaps shape / size to play with.
Here is a picture of the map with drop shadows. Not great. I'm not much of a designer but I'll prototype some things and see what reads best.
