My wish list:
1) Private airports in the database 2) G5 support 3) Competition for Jepp 4) Moving radar shots - looping to show movement Edited by comancheguy - 21 Sep 2017 at 12:14pm |

I'm waiting for Seattle Avionics Data. When I bought my IFD at Osh 2011, I specifically asked about alternative data sources before I gave them my credit card, and was told essentially "initially Jepp only, but another source was expected once one was viable."
Seattle Avionics is viable. |

Much prefer Jepp plates, especially for non-US use.
As far as data, well navdata is navdata, but I've seen some folks that have had real problems with SA update procedures. Of course a choice could be offered, but integration would require significant work I expect, and resources might be better spent elsewhere. * Orest Edited by oskrypuch - 21 Sep 2017 at 9:54am |

Not a fan of Jepp. Would like to see an option for data source.

This subject has been beaten to death over and over. The units we bought use Jeppesen data. We were aware of that at the time of purchase. Would it be nice if the data cost less? Sure, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Do not like Jepp. Their product is sub par. Their website is from the 90s.
We need competition. Just like what Avidyne did to the GPS market we need Avidyne to allow Seattle Avionics. |

I'm requesting that all interested owners of Avidyne IFD units add to this post requesting that Avidyne take a renewed and concerted effort to get charts and data from Seattle Avionics. As background info, I have a relationship with some of the principal people at SA due to my beta testing with them for a couple years now. Today, I asked my contact to renew efforts to get approved as a data supplier to Avidyne IFD devices. His response was -
"We're talking to Avidyne and hope to get something worked out. They have a lot on their plate and this never seems to be top of their list. Feel free to bug them as we're very happy to work with them." Thanks to all who want a second source and who take the time to ask Avidyne to put this 'top of their list'.
