I believe that the "airport" information comes from the FAA. So, as long as
the FAA keeps their data up to date, so will CV. The fuel prices come from
the FBO's. They (CV) are in the process of contacting all the FBO's. It
should be pointed out that the "fuel price's on the airport information
page", is a subscription option (I think $30 yr), and that users are getting
it free for the month of June because it's a new feature. Also, the fuel
price file that gets downloaded is deleted after two weeks. So, two weeks in
to July, unless you subscribe, you won't have any "fuel prices".


I am aware of that, but I am concerned about paying for a service that
may not work all that well. I'm not sure how they are going to have the
resources to contact all of the FBOs out there every two weeks to update
prices, and the FBOs really have no incentive to contact them. Also,
some popular local fuel stops in my area don't have folks who answer the
phone reliably, so fuel information for some of the most-desired
airports may not be available (and isn't presently available).

I noticed that they apparently negotiated an agreement with Hotels.com
for the lodging information, which seems to be fairly robust.

I agree. I do not plan on subscribing to the fuel price updates. I can get
the (probably) same information from other sources. I hope they do well, and
can keep it up to date.

excellent... Free... If they keep upgrading it, XM weather should be
doable in the future, they already have internet weather...
