Frank,

I looked at that deal, but I'm not sure about the $89 that it costs.
You can get sectionals free (forever, I think) by purchasing GlidePlan,
which I've done a while back. I love this program. I'm a novice XC
pilot, so you can put my statements through this filter. I go flying
every day with new current charts of my planned area, and know at a
glance my safe glide range for a given altitude for every airport I have
any remote interest in. Matt Herron has provided instant customer
service anytime I've had a question. Now, these charts are not usable
with Google Earth, but they are legal reproductions of the FAA charts.
I'm not sure that ChartGeek's charts are legal.

Just my 2 cents.
