Data usage for Jeppesen Charts on iPad?
 

I am trying to work out what size data pack to get for my iPad. What I want to know is the average size of a Jeppesen Mobile FD fortnightly update?

I am looking at getting 1.5gb a month and I would only use about 500mb for other stuff leaving around 1gb for Jeppesen updates.

Get prepaid from Telstra. $150 for 12GB which is valid for 12 months.

That means if you want to use 2GB in one month and bugger all for the next two, you can.

damn I wish I knew that prior to signing upto a 24 month contract

Jepp TC download usually between 4 & 5 Mb, not sure of size of manuals.

Latest update on JeppFD for my australia detailed subscription is 21.0MB for terminal charts, and 807.1K for enroute. They are fairly normal numbers for the updates on JeppFD.

I also don't know what size the updates for the manuals would be.

Thanks folks. 5-25mb would be fine then with any data plan. I was under the impression it could have been quite a bit more. Seems to take a while to download on my computer with JeppView on a broadband connection. Must be quite different files between Jeppview on computer and Mobile FD on iPad.

Just had a look at my JeppView updates and they range from 4-54mb for the latest cycle, for those whop are interested.

Just find a wifi point for the updates if you're concerned
