Jeppview vs. paper Jepp Plates

The airport diagram moving map is nothing short of fantastic. Jet Blue has
that set up and will almost certainly never have a runway incursion.

Never say never.

Overall, JeppView/FliteDeck subscription is the less costly and "legal"
solution for my charts, update, & moving map requirement in a format
that I am familiar with. Plus, if and when I get FliteDeck to work, I
will have the same moving map as those jet pilots.

Only a small percentage of jet pilots have it up and running. The best
installations are the 777 and the new Gulfstream where FliteDeck is
essentially a part of the FMS and multi-function displays.

I agree with your assessments. The moving map in this version is very,
very good. The only complaint I have it some of the airway stuff
disappears at working scales, such as short segment mileages. And, there
are no cumulative "D" DME distances. That's why they still issue us the
paper en route charts, I was told.

Heck, Avidyne has a good setup with the EX500/5000 series and the CMax
Electronic Approach Charts option.

Read the context, ok? "and will almost certainly never have...." is not exactly
saying never.

How many light aircraft have Avidyne? Also, that particular hardware still has
to run the old version of FliteDeck because of operating system issues, or at
least that was the case in January.

It's pretty hard to tell from their website just what products they do offer.
Not just this instance, but in general. I think they could boost their sales
tremenedously if they just redesigned and rationalized their website. I know I
personally have gone to their website with the intention of buying something and
left without buying. I'm sure this must happen a lot.

What is the issue with FlightDeck?

FlightMax EX500: The CMax option for the EX500 requires Release 2.0
software, which is not yet available. Release 2.0 software and the CMax
Electronic Approach Charts option are currently being certified and an
announcement regarding availability will be forthcoming soon.

CMax, AIUI, does not use FlightDeck.

Their web site is lousy.

CMAX charts are now available with Version 2.0 software and JeppView 3 -- it
works well --- see www.flyimc.com/newpane.html

Glad to hear they got it all sorted out.

I couldn't get your URL to work, though.

It always has been, even back to their first one six, seven years ago.

Just a guess, but I suspect it stems from their borderline paranoia about
protecting their copyrights.
