IFD100 No Charts?

I find it interesting that the system (the interface between the IFD and the 100) knows it doesn't have a position and disables charts on the 100, BUT the IFD can't bring up the charts for the current airport where you are shooting an active approach to and defaults to some far away airport. 

Make sure your IFD540 also has a GPS position. Without it, the connected IFD100 will not show a charts tab.

I have the charts, and I can download them from the databases screen, but they don't show up on the map page of the IFD100 app.  what am I doing wrong?  do I need to be connected to the avionics for the charts page to show?

The bundles options from Jepp include charts with the 540 but don't include charts with the 440.

Exactly!

I should have mentioned that after selecting "Download Logs" or "Update Databases" you will have to select "Confirm" before getting to the Jeppesen login.

Vince, are you sure you're closing the IFD program on the IPAD and not just returning to the homepage?
It requires you to swipe the program up off the screen to close it.  Then it should return to the jepp login page when reopened.

The green hash lines show where nexrad is not available. Try turning off the nexrad on the weather page.

1) I am having difficulty getting the charts recognized on the IFD100 and IFD Trainer (sim). I downloaded both apps to ipads from Jepp, and all looked fine after data download with a green check for the various db: navdata, charts, terrain, etc. BTW, the Jeppesen login screen has a note that the IFD100 doesn't reduce the number of available seats (max 4), but that is false. When I activate the IFD100 and IFD Trainer, each takes one seat. Since I also have JeppFD on several ipads as well as JeppView on my PC, I needed to deactivate 2 of them before Jeppesen would let me activate the IFD100 and Trainer.

My preferred app has been IFLY which is excellent.  I also have Bluetooth GPS devices for my two
Android tablets, and neither will work with the Ipad.  If I have to buy a IPAD specific GPS,  purchase another Jepp download and learn to use the IFD100 app and the IPAD device I'll consider it one of my most bonehead aviation expenditures ever.  On the other hand, the Comanche and IFD540 are all worth it!!!

I just purchased a IPAD mini 4 specifically for the IFD100.   As a dedicated Android user it was
painful, but could not wait for an Android version.
I have only used one-time database updates installed by my avionics shop on the IFD540.
If I don't have a subscription does that mean I will not be able to download the charts
to make the IFD100 work?  Or will my avionics shop be able to put them on my IPAD with
the one-time download I'm putting on my IFD540?   Bob

I may have misunderstood your question: If the Electronic Charts are not showing up as an available download in Jeppesen Services you may want to try signing on to Jeppesen Services in the IFD100, and look at the settings page by selecting the settings icon in the upper right corner of the display.

Verify that your Subscription Serial Number is the same as the charts serial number displayed in JDM.  If they do not match, then try deactivating Jeppesen Services on the IFD100 by selecting "Deactivate" in the lower right of the settings display. I think you may have to confirm the deactivation before the app closes.

Even if the Subscription Serial Numbers match between JDM and the IFD100, you may want to try deactivating the IFD100 and reactivate it per below.

Once deactivated, reopen the IFD100 app and proceed to the Jeppesen Services login again. Reactivate your remaining seat by Signing in using your Jeppesen Services username and password.
 

I have used Jepps charts on the IFD 100 for awhile but just switched from 4 license seats to 2 to save some money.  I am using one of the seats on FF and it says I have 1 available seat left.  The IFD 100, however, no longer gives an option to download charts.  I tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling with no change.  I called Jepp and they confirmed I have 1 seat available but said that it is an Avidyne issue.  Anyone have a suggestion on how I can get the chart download to appear in the IFD 100 again?

I have seen the unexpected amount of data message ( including loading the charts last evening)

A restart of the down load would complete and charts were there on both of my Ipad mini 4 units.

I am running the latest version of IOS 11

Download of FD Mobile is not necessary to get IFD100 charts on ipad. 

All I had to do was de-activate my IFD100 and re-log in with my ID / password.

I would have not known that except for reading this thread.

My IFD540 charts are now available on my IFD100 just in time for my subscription to expire :)

Better late than never though.

I have had the same Full USA Jeppesen Services Suite Bundle (charts, nav data, obstacles, terrain) for my IFD540 for almost two years. It is still advertised at:

http://jeppdirect.jeppesen.com/legal/flitepak/avidyne-ifd540/flitepak.jsp

Up until yesterday, my data subscription would not show charts as a download option for my IFD100s. There were several others on this forum with the same issue. I received an email yesterday from Jeppesen Services specific to my data package subscription now allowing charts on two site keys (apps). With this change, my Subscription Serial Number the IFD100 uses based on my Jeppesen Services username and password also changed and now matches my Electronic Charts Serial Number in JDM. I don't know if the two serial numbers matched before Jeppesen updated the data package allowing the two site keys. 

There is another Full USA Jeppesen Services Suite + IFR Bundle which advertises the four licenses (installs) for mobile apps:

http://jeppdirect.jeppesen.com/legal/flitepak/avidyne-ifd540/flitepak-plus-ifr.jsp

From all I've read on this forum about other's issues with Jeppesen (none of which I have personally experienced), we may very well be talking apples and oranges on data bundles.

I have the full USA Jeppesen bundle subscription (charts, NAV data, & obstacles) for my single IFD540. Before yesterday, I did not have access to approach charts on my IFD100. Ultimately, after seeing the email I posted above, I individually deactivated both of my IFD100's. When I signed back into Jeppesen Services with my username and password, my subscription serial number changed to what is now reflected in JDM and charts are now accessible on both of my IFD100's.

I write "ultimately" because the Jeppesen email led me to believe I needed to download and activate Jeppesen FD Mobile first. While this worked fine on the first iPad, I found I had used both "seats" and could not activate Jeppesen FD Mobile or the IFD100 on the second iPad. After I then deactivated Jeppesen FD Mobile on the first iPad, I was able use the second "seat" on my second IFD100 by simply deactivating and re-signing into the second IFD100. Not sure; however, I think the download/activate of FD Mobile was not necessary.

Hopefully this helps!

Just received this email from Jeppesen...does this mean charts now on IFD100 without the surcharge?
