Hello...

Ok, so if you can get them for free by downloading and printing them,
why do people pay for the paper plates? Or is it a convenience thing
just to have them shipped to you every cycle?

They're free to download, but using the kinds of printers most people have in
their homes attached to their PCs, they're expensive to print. OK for a one-off,
but if you plan on printing very many, the cost adds up.

Then there's the convenience of a bound volume, and the reassurance that you
have all the charts and you didn't fail to print one that you might need.


I imagine the cost would add up for Jepp plates, enroute charts, MX20
plate subcription, garmin subscription. Or perhaps there is an "all in
one" package you can order?

I too am still looking for a cost-effective and convenient solution to use the
"free" downloads.
