When real GA flying was using Foreflight APPS. 

It was great. Now no more real world flying and just to have Canada coverage cover for charts was getting expensive

For sim flying I see navigraph seems goods. Seems to have world chard coverage. I'm still using MSFS2020.  I know MSFS2024 has built in chart availability.

Is it worth going to navigraph?

Does anybody know any other sites that have charts?  I use fltplan.com, skyvectors but seem to only have North America coverge

any ideas would be appreciated

 

 

Little Navmap might be suitable, and it's free.

Also RW pilot no longer flying IRL.  Also used Foreflight and dropped due to cost, moving to Fltplan.com.  Then finally broke down and got a Navigraph subscription and I've never looked back.  I use the Charts ap on my tablet while flying for georeferenced charts, and Simbrief - a wonderful flightplanning tool - for plans which can be exported into various devices in the sim - for me that typically means the TDS GTN 750 and 650, which also get updated with current Jepp charts.

Amazing tools for not that much cost.  Love my subscription and wouldn't sim without it now.  Keep in mind that if you fly mostly GA, the built-in charts for 2024 are air carrier focused and won't include Cat A and B info and lack charts for many regional and smaller fields.

Unlike LIDO though you can switch to STD charts rather than CAO giving acces to the lower categories.

Does Littlemap have approach plates airport diagrams?

Navigraph has a no commitment monthly subscription so it wouldn't cost much to give it a try.

No it does not. Little NavMap is a excellent program, and will draw the flight path of SID, STARs, approaches and missed approaches, but no charts.

Echoing ttocs I am an annual subscriber and can’t live without it. Try one month. 10 bucks. If you like it, annual drops it down to 8 bucks. 

Might give it a go then

I also fly mostly GA, and then mostly in Canada & US. I purchased my Navigraph/Simbrief subscription a few years ago, and I feel that it's been one of the best purchases I've ever made. Up-to-date charts, SIDS/STARS flight planning & weather. I'm not a real life PPL, but it all seems top notch to me - not to mention linking it through 3rd party GPS.

It's not free, but I really couldn't recommend it any more highly.

Well, it depends... I am on MSFS2024 and I ended my Navigraph subscription after a few years. The LIDO charts that come with MSFS2024 are just as good (if not better) for me. And they are 100% free so... bye bye Navigraph!

No, but in the US 2024 does provide FAA charts in addition to LIDO. I haven’t come across an airport in the US yet that doesn’t have them. And the FAA charts contain all the necessary info.

Hello, here is my point.

If you have enough money to buy Navigraph, take it. It's one of my must have for MSFS

If you fly outside the US and tend to go to smaller airports, there usually won't be charts.  Thankfully WT has allowed the use of FAA charts while flying USA in 2024.

At any rate. To the OP: I've had navigraph for about 5 years and really enjoy it.  Some things are worth paying for (it's not very much at all!)
