hi everybody

while I've never seen the aerad, I understood they are indeed the nicest charts you can have.
But I've used both Jepp and Lido and, back then, I loved Lidos at first site.
Just to realise in short time they are full of mistakes and omissions, and to want my jepp back, with no colors and all.. On the LIdo's I am speaking about, there were BIG mistakes, like wrong navaid freq, etc.
On the other hand, they had nice features, like a drawing of the terrain underneath the vert profile, the MSA sectors depicted right on the plan view, and so on.
After a few years now, I see Jepp is starting to publish coloured charts themselves (only for some countries, unfortunately), and things seem to start moving slowly.
Even so, I'll still choose Jepp over Lido, at least for the time.
I know Swiss is using Lido for quite a while now.. I would be curious to see how they like it.
rgds.
