Hi
What is the current status of including VRP's in the IFD540 nav data? I believe the question is specific to Europe. I had a conversation about this with Bill Schillhammer at AERO, and he indicated that Jepp is not very proactive with defining a naming convention for these. The issue is that the names are not unique (many airports have E, E1, E2, N, S, etc VRP's), so a 5-char convention needs to be defined. Jepp clearly has the data, since the VRP's appear on all the Jepp VFR/GPS charts (both graphically and in a table with lat/long). Having these in the nav data would be a huge advantage over the 430. Flying in/out of a new airport with 5-10 of these is a pain since they need to be added manually as user WP. Of course, maintaining them manually is also an issue, since locations change slightly from time to time. |

Hi Vince,
Yup, very familiar with VFR Reporting Points but we have deferred that out of the initial release. We'll get them in at some point however - we definitely get how important/useful they are in Europe.
