Do you mean more people expressing their interest here ? yes - enough people expressing interest here to make it worthwhile for the SD team to invest in building the integration but i fear the hard bit is enough people proving to Boeing that they'd lose customers who would prefer to stick with SD and no Jepp plates versus have Jepp plates but use FF/GP

That is, unless SD strikes a deal with Boeing. I would also be prepared to pay extra to SD. Edited 10/31/2021 5:42:47 PM by lhe

Given that JeppView isn't supported after June, I will not be renewing and frankly Jepp continues to be a nightmare to do business with anyway. I may have to consider ForeFlight but much prefer SkyDemon for many reasons. As an instrument rating instructor, my preferences inevitably affect those of my students although they can and do make their own choices. Here's hoping that Tim and the SD team can come up with something useful. --- CPL/IR/FI based in South of England

Why on earth aren't Boeing etc talking to Garmin I wonder? Surely it makes sense for the corporates to talk to each other. Integrating a more user friendly base utilising Jepp structure and SD superior customer support and product would be the ideal package. Garmin leads the field in most GA Avionics here in Africa and we would love it if SD and Garmin could share platforms and make a much more cost effective IF/VFR package appeal to Charter and private operators. Elon Musk has recognised the value of cost effective satellite system with a broader reach; Boeing /Jepp/ Garmin somehow missed the boat a bit on this one!
