So i run a laptop and iPad mini for ASN, VATSIM and charts. I hate FltPlan.com because it makes you sign in everytime you want change your airport too look at new charts. I fly a lot in Canada so I need a service that provides USA/CAN plates and most of them don't (except FltPlan). I have used Navigraph charts in the past via nDac and I found them to be out of date a lot of times (and I mean really out of date). The Cloud service they offer is wicked expensive for things that are free online but the UI looks attractive. I was wondering if any of you guys use this service and if you think it's worth it.


Cheers!

Nobody uses this thing?

For airports outside the US, I get my charts from Navigraph individually when I really need to update. The annual charts cloud is just too expensive.

I think there is a demo for it if you want to take a look.  I actually thought it was going to be an App...but its completely web based.

I use Navigraph Charts. I have the yearly subscription and use it for all my flights. I used to hate the Cloud interface, and almost allways use nDac. But lately I got more used to it, and notice myself using Cloud charts almost as much as nDac. I don't really have any experience using it on a tablet.

 

I believe that the charts are updated four times a year. So there is a chance that some charts are a bit outdated. Especially if there was a revision shortly after the most recent Navigraph update.

 

Here is a list of all the supported airports:

If you have any more questions let me know.

I use it for approach charts outside of the USA and Europe. While it's true that most of them are not the most recent charts for any given airport, neither are they "ancient". Seems like most are between 3 to 9 months old.

 

The service I use more than the terminal charts is the enroute charts, both upper and lower-level. Their coverage is pretty good world-wide, and these are difficult to find from other sources.

 

The Navigraph cloud is comparable to the stand-alone NDac program in coverage, but I find the web interface more convenient - works great on my iPad.

I use Navigraph Charts and FMS data for all my flights. I run networked so I always have Charts open on my lap. I pull up Cloud on my iPad or iPhone when I need to check something while out of the cockpit

You can typically search Googke for the airport ICAO code + the word 'Jeppesen' and find charts that way for airports outside the US and CAN.  I would use FltPlan.com for Canada charts.  It isn't a big deal to have outdated charts for flight sim since the nav database and frequencies inside FS are so old (and therefore charts that are years old are still correct for FS) and/or typically never change even with updated AFCADs.

 

I have access to a JeppView so that is how I get all my global charts but that even presents its' issues (brand new charts can be incorrect from the years old FS nav database).
