Had a issue when my area coverage is up the 180 parallel 5nm wide from NZ to alaska... Jepp wont get back to me with a fix, guess it's a new program and a few serious issues
Its seems you can only see the approach plates , no maps/charts are available outside of the USA and canada from what i can figure from playing with my subscription
As for the problem you are having, it is an issue that we are working on. This happens when the coverages do not touch on land. Yours is not working because you have the Far East and Australasia.
Received the above from Jepp last night. Guess a fix is on it's way
Jabair had its first Jepp FD mobile experience today. Works well, except the list below.
No Freq Data on the chart (or I can't find where to turn it on) No User Waypoints (that I can find) Did an RNAV and did not see the GPS position on the chart like the old FD does, (which is no biggie for me but the FTDK seems to think so)
And the OzRunways by comparison, for IFR and VFR its still way in front with WAC's etc etc etc, I do prefer the Jepp plates and the en route charts are clearer.
Are the Jepp FD functions all working? Im trying to add route waypoints specifically airports with both NDB and VOR. For example I stick in MDG but want the track to originate from the VOR and not the NDB. Is there a way to differentiate between the two?
Jay Bo, I've contacted Jepp about that problem. Basically there is no way to specify a VOR or the NDB and the route algorithm defaults to the navaid closest to the direct track. What happens then is that if it defaults to the NDB, but the VOR of the same name is what defines the airway, it won't accept the airway as part of the route. It is frustrating as it's a pretty fundamental function of a flight planning/routing program to be able to specify what type of navaid you want. I suspect this has happened because it's made by Yanks, and the Yanks have forgotten that some parts of the world still have a significant number of NDBs.
P.S. You can work around it by just manually entering waypoints though the tracks won't be quite right particularly where the NDB and VOR are some distance from each other.
They need a way to save routes as well. And they could do with giving you more than just the departure, destination, and two alternates.
By actually flying on the airway, you need to try a bit harder with your nav skills
Ok seriously, go to you iPad setting and make sure the LOCATION SERVICES has you Jepp app on. The when in Jepp FD poke the own sip icon and you should be where you meant to be.
Anyone know if user waypoints will be released any time soon. I can't leave home without them.
