As per the original plan, Stuart has been in contact with the author (Sébastien MARQUE) of the ZKV-1000. While he himself doesn't plan to implement a G1000, he's very happy for it to be developed in that direction. Stuart's broad plan is to make a copy of this in fgdata or fgaddon, and use it as the basis for a G1000, taking the opportunity to use [[Canvas MFD Framework|Richard's MFD code]] and making as generic pages as possible for other glass cockpit applications.<ref>{{cite web

Most of the underlying Canvas [[MapStructure]] layers are now written (though they require styling, and/or would benefit from replacement with vector data).

However, if the built-in Canvas system is extended to provide these charts, [[Phi]] could also be entirely self-contained by rendering the same  airport charts without having to depend on external data sources.
