Dear,

Each country offers the possibility to buy a subscription for their charts. Eg: Skyguide for Switzerland, Avioportolano for Italy, DFS for Germany, Rogers for Austria and so on.
Why not to develop an integration with Jeppesen chart? Did you already evaluate this opportunity?
Jeppesen charts (approach, area, etc.) are all the same style and they have essential info specific for VFR flights, and you can find many useful info (PPR? Customs? Etc) in an easy way and in one place (it’s not always easy to find some specific rules for GA flight in Civil Text info for some aerodrome...).

Many thanks for your attention.
Andrea.

Wow, this really is the thread that keeps on giving, isn't it? Let me set out the facts:

Some people want Jeppesen plates for various reasons

Jeppesen is in direct competition with SkyDemon

FF is owned by Boeing, the same company that owns Jeppesen, so of course they integrate the plates

I hope this makes it obvious why it is highly unlikely you will ever see Jeppesen plates available in SkyDemon. Since there are other products that integrate those plates, you're in luck! Simply use those other products if having the Jeppesen plates is important to your mission profile.

Shouldn't be the reason, e.g. you can also run Microsoft applications on MacOS, Apple iPhone also integrates the Google Maps app, and so on.
