time for me to renew my Jepp service. I usually get the California
Express for $144 per year. Generally the work that I have to
do is not that bad. My friend is going to be starting his
IFR training soon and I was thinking maybe the two of us
can get the Jeppview service that includes California plus
some extra bonus states (NV, AZ, UT, NM, not used very often)
but more importantly the updates look beyond simple. Attaching
a laptop to a GPS antenna gives you a nice moving map which seems
like a very nice independent backup if the plane happens go
really go south (not the cardinal direction).

Anyone have any experience using Jeppview? What are
the good points and the bad points?

thanks for the feedback.

Actually, you would use FliteDeck in the airplane. You get both
programs with the electronic subscription, JeppView and FliteDeck.

If you sit down and take the time to really learn how to use FliteDeck,
it is very good. The other issue is the system you will use to display
it. A tablet type display is by far the best.
