NavData on shipped units

Just planning for the transition, with regard to data.

Ah, so OK to fool around with on the ground, but obviously you have to update before you can fly it.

Right, part of the installation process is supposed to be updating to the current databases.  For those folks who don't have a Charts subscription, the data will be present forever but not current (and will therefore have a "Not For Navigation" watermark and won't allow a flight plan overlay.   But, no matter if current or from July, you *should* be able to get a complete set of charts, not just for a single airport.

Yes. My pickup is now Wednesday.

So it sounds as if at least two people are only seeing one airfield's worth of charts on their IFD540s.  This is the first I've heard of that so will need to investigate.

Hi Steve:

My only concern is being able to flight plan going from PHX to TUS - your post sounded like couldn't do that - but you meant approaches only are locked out?

Thanks.

I tried bringing up charts for several different airports on the iPad sim (US), and I was able to pull up all of them.  I don't have the "rest of world" sim to try it there.

Same situation on my unit. Where can I get the European charts?

Thanks

Klaus,

You can try the Frankfurt tel number indicated by the site link provided by Orest. Forget the web site, as indicated previously in this chain and another on the subject.

If you don't get any satisfaction from the Frankfurt office, try this fellow. He solved all my issues promptly and apologetically and definitely knows how to push the right buttons. I had access to the Navdata for download via JdmApp within an hour after receiving his email confirming my order.

When I tried to get my Navdata last November, Frankfurt didn't know what an IFD540 was let alone be able to support it. That should have been fixed by now because Charles told me that training was in progress at that time.

I only got the Navdata. Chart pricing for Europe is for jet drivers up in the stratosphere way beyond my means (I fly a lowly C172). However, my understanding is that there is no additional charge for corresponding charts on the IFD540 if you already have them on a Jepp FlightDeck subscription. It counts as one of the total devices (e.g. ipad,pc,IFD540) per subscription. I think the max count is 3. But as mentioned, I didn't get the charts.
