John, I guess that few if any of us has detailed knowledge of all the systems. I use the Sky Demon system and find it superb for planning and related things like Notams, Flight plans, etc. I do not use it as a flight instrument, having a Garmin 496 installed in the panel and slaved to an autopilot, but have flown with a number of folk who have used it as their principle in flight nav system with happy results. Sky Demon is so good and its upgrades so seamless that I find it difficult toimagine that the other systems can be better,  and certainly have no inclination to consider changing. 

Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ

I have become dissatisfied with Airnavpro because of recent "upgrades" which in my opinion have rendered it less user friendly than before. The menu has become more cluttered, the symbols less clear, closer together and although I haven't flown with it yet I can only imagine that a bit of turbulence would render it unusable. What a shame that a once clear usable software has become a victim of perceived obligation to update it.

My question to the list is, bearing in mind that I live in France, what is the best iPad compatible program to use for navigation and planning at a reasonable price?

I see that up there with the best is, fore flight, wing x pro and sky demon.

Which is the best value for money?

John

Hello John,

     Have a look to http://www.skydreamsoft.fr/

          I use it for some time       to replace Airnavpro,       and he approaches         perfection.

       

          See you         on the frequency

Hello John.

Take a look at EasyVFR  from the makers of PocketFMS. they have been aroun quite some time and know what is required in a light plane cockpit. 

See http://www.pocketfms.com/  for more info I think it is fantastic and the support and forum is brilliant

Happy user of EasyVFR - Baltics to Spain; UK to Greece.

Planning, notams, weather, map (I don't use the flightplan submission 

option), what one must expect I suppose.

65 euros per year I believe.
