See Your NOTAMs on a Map: No More Coordinate Puzzles

Ever tried to visualize a complex NOTAM area in your head? It's like trying to solve a geometry puzzle while planning a flight. That's why we built a map view that makes spatial NOTAMs easier to inspect.

From Coordinates to Clarity

Let me show you what I mean. Here's a recent NOTAM about drone operations in Akita, Japan:

UNMANNED ACFT:
1.FLT AREA: WI A RADIUS OF 1188M OF 401028N1404532E
            (KAZUNO-SHI IN AKITA)
2.WT      : 4KG

Instead of trying to plot these coordinates mentally, here's what you see in Notamify:

The circular restriction is visible on the map, showing you exactly where the drone operations are taking place. You can immediately see how it relates to nearby areas and assess its impact on your operations.

It Gets Even Better with Complex Areas

But that's just the beginning. Take a look at this NOTAM defining a complex flight area in Okinawa:

1.FLT AREA: BOUNDED BY FLW POINTS
            262727N1274927E 262725N1274925E 262723N1274923E
            262721N1274922E 262718N1274923E 262713N1274926E
            ...

Rather than trying to connect these dots in your head, the map gives you a clearer visual outline:

Multiple Points? No Problem

Here's where it gets really interesting. Look at this NOTAM about balloon operations in Hokkaido:

ASCENT OF FREE BALLOON
1.RELEASING POINT:
 A.425333N1432211E (NAKAGAWA-GUN IN HOKKAIDO)
 B.431417N1431629E (KATO-GUN IN HOKKAIDO)
 C.430924N1431430E (KATO-GUN IN HOKKAIDO)
...

Instead of a list of coordinates, you get this:

Each release point is clearly marked on the map, with tooltips that help identify what you are reviewing.

Obstacle Points? Here They Are

Notamify Map Visualization also shows obstacle points, which are often not visible in standard NOTAM charts. Important when you calculate performance for your flight. Here's an example from a NOTAM about a canes increasing the Obstacle Clearance Height in Frankfurt:

Why This Matters

I recently spoke with a pilot who spent 20 minutes plotting coordinates from a complex NOTAM, only to realize he'd made a small error that significantly changed the affected area. With a map view, users get a faster visual check before reviewing the official wording.
