Jeppesen Garmin Nav Updates
The argument electronic v paper is irrelevant. Thats' only the
delivery mechanism. What you're really paying for is the JAD - the
Jeppesen Aviation Datbase and the part of it that you want..
The JAD is not just the US. It's got data from every country's
aviation facility, or at least the ones that Jepp can acquire (sometimes
it costs, sometimes provided by the government, as with the FAA)
And every time Jepp gets a new release of data, it has to be validated and
verified before it's put into the database. That's both a manual and
automated process. There's lots of people involved checking the data.
