By the way, speaking of various electronic VFR charts, Fugawi (as in "where the fugawi?") has albums of American TPCs (tactical pilotage charts) for Europe (with adjacent bits of Asia), Africa (north of 4°N and south of 8°N), Mexico, Central America, Afghanistan+Pakistan, China (eastern and western halves), India, Nepal and Korea. These are 1:500000 aeronautical charts in BSB format - that is, loadable into FliteMap and many other navigation programs; a standalone viewer is included, too. One can either subscribe for online access or buy a disk ($100 per album). They may be somewhat outdated (as far as I understand, most are from 1990s) but for some countries (e.g. Turkey) this is just about the only way to get aeronautical charts, and the price is quite reasonable.
The same charts in paper format can be ordered from various outlets for $8-$10 a sheet.
