Jeppesen Plotting Charts

Hello, I would really love to see the entire range of Jeppesen’s plotting charts made available to users of Navigraph Charts. When crossing the ocean, a large number of airlines still require their pilots to use these charts to manually plot their position after crossing a waypoint. I think the best way to implement these into the current app, would be a separate viewing tab w/ an option to REMOVE the route overlay. I say this, because the entire purpose of these charts is for the pilot to plot their position and draw the route before each flight. However, for usability, the option should still exist for users to toggle on the overlay of their route.

Also, in order to make this feature usable, there would need to be some enhancements to the drawing option in Charts App. We would need a ruler option so that we could draw a straight line between two points. Also, it would need to be easier to write characters than it currently is. Right now, it smooths characters and it makes writing practically impossible.

ForeFlight has a new plotting feature for its business customers now. Collins has a nice one. I think Navigraph should research some of the other options for plotting and come up with their own solution.

I have moved this topic to our wishlist category. By the way, good input - thanks guys!

Cheers
Richard
