I do fly ground based as primary as I stated before, but that doesn't
change the fact that the updates are rediculously overpriced. And to
suggest to selling a unit that promotes situational awareness is
ludicrous just because you feel the price of subscription is a

group of people who find $300 - $400 annual subscription appropriately
reasonable..

Jeppesen will charge what the market will take and not a penny more. Simple
supply and demand issue. Yes, they have the infrastructure in place but the
market is a small one and they need to make a profit. I think they've
already made an attempt to accomodate the spamcan drivers with the
availability of regional database subscriptions.

If there really is a market for someone else, that should be good news to
someone reading this. However, my gut tells me it will sound like a good
idea until the quote for liability insurance arrives.
