This program demonstrates how to use the API to create data which can later be exported in convenient form (for example, GPX format). The resulting data sample for WEST of the United States (saved in GPX format after conversion) can be downloaded here. Download full source code and executable here.
The program opens original NTSB files (Access95 format, freely available at http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/query.asp, follow link "Downloadable Datasets", "Access95" - ftp://www.ntsb.gov/avdata/Access95/) and commands QuakeMap to create waypoints for the records that contain coordinates. Only records with specified coordinates are actually useful, which limits Access95 file set to 1983, 1989, 1990, 1995, 2000-2004(March). You can easily create your own datasets using the sample code.
The FULL resulting data (saved in GPX format after conversion, very slow on display) can be downloaded here
In this file the data is divided into four zones:
file name longitude number of waypoints
------------------------------------------------------------------
ntsb-hiak.gpx -180...-125 437 waypoints
ntsb-west.gpx -125...-110 1151 waypoints
ntsb-central.gpx -110...-90 1083 waypoints
ntsb-east.gpx -90...+180 1886 waypoints
Every waypoint contains a web link to original incident description, so that clicking on waypoints/labels in QuakeMap brings up a web page.
