Thanks for the caveat: Peter H already has raised yellow flags on that and I woldn't ever fly blindly on those Jepp profiles!
Nevertheless that feature comes handy in flight planning and would be quite useful in flight as well , if it only worked correctly when onroute (infact I found in the meantime that it gives a correct profile fix when offroute, most of the time ...)
Pctechsupport at Jeppesen isn't able to give explanation, but they state on Sept '11

So Flitemap is alive and latest version is 9.5.5 which came out in June '11.
Unfortunately, this version (which is vastly improved with weather info)has also collected a bug: it's not able to upload routes to my Skymap IIC GPS anymore!
They have been informed on that and also informed of the erratic fixing in profile view. Maybe they'll put a SW fix sometime: as I said, the prog is quite useful, even in flight, mostly for the flight info it provides along the route one is following.
