No free lunch for European aviation map data, unfortunately.

Most current vendors get what they can from Eurocontrol and then fill in the gaps with other sources.

The last ONC/TPC maps are from 1998, and should be good for pure topo data and the locations of airports and navaids (those that have not changed) but that's about it.

This firm is unlikely to succeed. They will realise it is a huge project and will throw in the towel, just like all the other US vendors. Too much hassle for virtually no reward.

The bits of maps they have done look fairly clean though.
