Terrain - $150 (one time only)
Obstacles - $35
AOPA Directory - $35
Jeppesen - $35
Safe Taxi - $35


Complaints about the cost of luxury items...
Priceless...


I don't mind paying the price for everything but the AOPA Directory.
That's a free download from AOPA.
Why are they charging $35?

Do you know how to take the download from AOPA, format it for the 496, then
integrate it with the GPS software? If you do, I'm sure you'd be able to
afford a few more hamburger runs by charging, say, $34 for the service.
