Narrative:
Flight from mko to rog. IFR flight plan filed but not utilized as WX was VFR. Because of outdated CG20 chart and expired databases in both the onboard GPS and LORAN, I may have been in the new xna airport's class D airspace. Remedy is better preflight planning and, more importantly, current charts and GPS/LORAN databases.
