Jeppview 3

[Yvone Brem]

Im really liking the updated Navigraph Charts and how you can have your plane from your simulator lay on top of it. Makes flying a joy. However it's subscription based and there's no way to have all the charts downloaded offline onto your machine just incase your internet is unreliable. Now with Jeppview, it's a full DVD with all the latest charts, and doesn't require the internet to use.

I really like the UI of Navigraph, makes looking at charts much nicer and the flow of it all seems much more logical. Only if Jeppview has a nice UI like Navigraph, it would be almost perfect, or if Navigraph would offer a complete offline database of it's charts for users who don't need to have the latest updates would be great as well.

Just a heads up in case you're unaware - if you happen to live and fly in North America - FltPlan GO - has a fully functional (FSX/P3D/XP) EFB for (WIN/ANDROID/IOS) - that includes georeferenced approach plates and taxi diagrams - all for the low low low price of - completely FREE... It's worth a look if that suits your criteria...

It is hard to beat Navigraph Charts.... I personally disable their SimConnect module because I have no use for linking my position to the chart; and it is true that you need a working internet to launch the application. It does download the charts by location and these are kept local so you don't need to download on every session but it will not let you view the charts unless it can validate you as a user by 'calling home.' As far as chart type, Jeppesen is good but I spent a lot of time learning LIDO and find many pros and cons for both of them. I learned with FAA Charts and flew with them exclusively for decades so of course that is my 'baseline.'

This discussion is of course all about personal preference (and indeed what one is used to) but I have to say I am really struggling with the Jepps. I've never been a huge fan and going to them from the Lidos (and the Aerads before that) seems like a huge backward step: some of the newer-format full-colour Jepps are slightly better than the old black and white ones but not a lot. Whilst the procedures themselves are clear enough, what I find the Jepps really lack is the bigger picture -- terrain awareness in particular. The new Navigraph Jepp enroute charts with the capability to draw one's route etc on them are better than the static Lidos before, but the terminal charts....

However, I finally took the plunge and got the subscription out for AIRAC and Charts from Navigraph. Very happy I did and well worth it as you can have some confidence in the up to date aspect of the charts, AIRAC cycles etc. Works on and off line.

There is a small piece of software you need to load on your flightsim PC to facilitate communications between the two devices... Needs to be run as admin but setup is a breeze... Simply launch right before starting your sim... Your mobile device and flightsim PC need to be on the same WiFi network segment...

Also If you actually have got a legit copy of jeppview (which I doubt the OP has) you dont need the DVD you could download by connecting upto the servers. If you have one of the blacklisted jeppviews you have to rely on the monthly DVDs for charts, the enroute data will stay out of date.

One of My best mate works for jeppesen ITPS in crawley, and my airline is a jepps customer we deal with them quite alot for diverts if we cant get handling or fuel agreements. Of the top of my head i think the basic Jeppview/360 subscription is 3000 GBP a year depending on how many licenses.
