Keeping your databases is very expensive.  Unfortunately, if you're =
going to
use your GPS for IFR flight, approaches, procedures, etc., it must be =
kept
current.  My alternative is to use my iPad with a $150/yr subscription =
to
ForFlight (http://www.foreflight.com/ipad) for all my flights (VFR & =
IFR)
and then once a year I update my Garmin 430W databases for $100.  It =
seems
to work very well and I don't have Jeppesen gouging me.

I just wrote out a check for $624.45 to keep my Chelton system up to =
date
for another year.

Do any of you know a less expensive option than Jeppesen?  Or do they =
simply
have a corner on this market place?
