Hello,

I've been looking at the software and it seems to do what I need but could you answer a question please? The annual subscription includes the supply of NOTAMS and weather data (TAFs and METARs?) but I can get this at the moment from NOAA and the AIS web site. Can the software get the data from these free sources instead of me having to pay for it from you? Thanks. Smile

Jon.

You are right that both WX and NOTAM info can be got elsewhere for free. But no other programme puts the NOTAMs directly on yr GPS and warns you. Similarly weather is overlayed during planning.

Way more functionality.,  .. in my view

I think calling it a subscription is wrong, it is more like paying extra for the use of the weather and notam functionality. I understand that updates to the airport and airspace data would cost something as it takes effort to maintain it but not the weather and notam data which Skydemon is getting free from a public domain source.
