Why not? I run an IPAD application for airplane navigation. It barks at me before I enter a runway.
Why not? Well, let's see... Because it is two totally different data collection methods. My friend, you have just done the same thing you criticize people around here for doing.
While your RAAS, WAAS, TAWS and GPS iPad app are very cool and work very well, (by the way, in most cases, not approved, only acceptable to the FAA) the input of the data are very strictly controlled. Right now, I believe that there are 2, maybe 3 companies that provide the data point to Garmin, Jepessen, Lufthansa and the smaller ones out there and our gooberment still collects a lot of data through the DAFIF program.
In other words, I cannot call up and have them add, ooh, let's say a new taxi way to KDFW and that be published. I can however log on to the iPhone app and report any location I want as a Gun Free Zone.
Garbage in, Garbage out is the problem these apps have. It's the same type issue other's have failed from unless you build a set of people who will be responsible for verification of the info. Now, if you did it something like Captcha does, that may help. I've got the same problem with a collection of speed camera and red light cameras for my radar detector. Garbage in, Garbage out.
