Allen,

The DUATS planner is subsidized by the government, I am not.

AOPA and EAA planners are subsidized by the membership, I am not.

Not charging a penny to download, install, and use the software for as
long as you want, that is free.

Charging a small fee for the database update service? Yes, that is
fair and the only way to guarantee that I am around to provide them...
You don't have to update if you don't want to. You don't have to use
the software if you don't want to.

Best Regards,

Dean Wilkinson

Ummm, maybe I am missing something???

Can you define free????

I doubt it is free when you are charging for database updates. There would
be no way I would use this software WITH OUTDATED databases.

Duats and AOPA flight planner don't charge for "updates" That to me
qualifies as free.

Doesn't sound like to me you are responding to the trend for free basic
flight planning services if you charge for database updates.
