File Exchange Pick of the Week

Miles Toolbox

Bob's pick this week is Miles Toolbox by Brian Bagenstose.

Check this out. Brian combined his interest in the travel industry with his passion for MATLAB to create a toolbox for frequent flyers. I could have really used this when I was an Application Engineer. I traveled all over to meet MathWorks customers. My wife and I certainly enjoyed that free Hawaii vacation last year. (Seriously, it's a perk. If that sounds like a sweet gig, we have openings so send me your resume.)

Even though I'm a seldom flyer now I can still appreciate this submission for other reasons. Brian's published description is a best practice. I like how he used different web data sources, and I love the overlay maps.

How have you used MATLAB to solve similar problems? Tell us about it here.

Wrap code fragments inside <pre> tags, like this:

<pre class="code">
a = magic(3);
sum(a)
</pre>

If you have a "<" character in your code, either follow it with a space or replace it with "&lt;" (including the semicolon).
