Change ICAO lookup?

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if there was any possible way for us to change the website the ICAO lookup grabs airport information from. geonames does not have all airports and some do not give the correct airports. So, i was wondering if there was a way we could grab the airports from airnav.com through the lookup instead of having to go to the website everytime?

Please let me know. Not a major issue, but may be an improvement from geonames.

Unfortunately, airnav doesn't have an API to go through. But if it's not too many airports, you can just copy the information into the dialog box.

You could also send those airports to geonames, though I'm not sure if they would add them.

In the future, this functionality might switch to the phpVMS API server; I'm collecting airport data and can hopefully build a pretty comprehensive database
