Not been able to find a contact for your Tim. Worth just going through the “front door”?

Hi
The discontinuation of JeppFD pushes people to go to Foreflight or GP… which I prefer avoid.
As I use jepp charts, I d like the possibility to link SkyDemon with my Jepp account and would be ready to pay a premium for that.
It would be my ideal configuration.
Kind regards

There are some discussions afoot about direct integration but needs more support on this forum

That’s extremely interesting. Do you mean more people expressing their interest here ?

+xThat’s extremely interesting. 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. |

I have had a plates subscription using JeppView for several years now and due for renewal next month. 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.

Currently, I'm using SD + AIP plates of local countries, but I would also think of an additional Jeppesen subscription, if the Bottlang VFR plates become available in Skydemon.

I'd rather see Skydemon talk to these guys. Time to get some competition.

For those of you with Jepp subscriptions viewed through the excellent and free JeppMFD app, the app is being discontinued next year.
The guidance states you can view your Jepp plates on Foreflght or “other compatible apps”. I haven’t found what they other mystery apps are
To date for light IFR GA I think the combination of SD and the JeppMFD app have been amazing.
I know SD is not an IFR tool but it does allow subs to things external plates eg Pooleys Plates and displays AIP approach charts.
I’d willing pay the cost of ForeFlight to have instead the Jepp charts integrated into SD.
@Tim you have 12 months before JeppMFD is withdrawn in the UK, plenty of time to be negotiate with Boeing??

+xI’ve long held the view that if SD integrated with Jepp and Autoroute, that’s all they’d need to have a complete EFB for light GA in Europe
I am completely with you on this one. |

+xI'd rather see Skydemon talk to these guys. Time to get some competition. 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!
