Where are the GRT NavData Updates?
GRT hasn't updated the NavData since the August cycle. Am I the only one who has noticed?

From their website..
====
- The next update is delayed. There's a problem with one of the government data sources we use for airspace updates. We will post an update as soon as that's fixed.

GRT Nav Database
Hi John,
I'm very sorry for the delay-- but we're having to fight to keep it free for our customers. The government is trying to charge us an exorbitant amount of money for our database subscription, which ran out at the end of 2012. Owner Greg has been working on a solution and is actually supposed to call them today to finalize it. He is confident that we will still be able to offer free database updates to our customers. We'll get a new database update on the website as soon as we can.

Thanks, Katie. Knowing the reason helps.

Map Data
I'm wondering where Dynon, Advanced or AvMap get their map data? These maps look really good, and while no one is more appreciative of GRTs free maps, I would be willing to pay a modest annual fee (not Jepp monopoly map data fees) for great maps!
I still have a Garmin 375 in the panel for good map data as let's face it, the GRT data isn't the best. My original panel had a Avidyne EX-500 as they had the best map data, especially for Class B airspace I'd ever seen... even worth the 28 volt system I had to install to support it. GRT has super displays with synthetic vision, better maps would be great.
Hopefully, GRT can get this solved soon.

I believe AvMap is Jepp based and costs $35/mo. Don't know about the others. I only update my AvMap a few times a year (summer flying season), otherwise use Foreflight for my official maps.

I *think* that I heard that they **MIGHT** be back by the next data cycle.
They supposedly have sorted stuff out with "the gubmint" for the data and are now in the queue.
Just sharing what I think is the case. Don't hold my feet to it just yet.

We get our updated data from the FAA every month. We just renewed our annual subscription at the end of the year and it was the same $213 annual charge that we have paid for years. I don't know if everyone gets their data from the same source, but this is how we get it. We post our free current map data every 28 days on our website.

We are also about to release PocketFMS Worldwide Data. This will mean much improved map data for our International customers.

We get our data from the FAA for the same $213 we've been paying for years, and just renewed as well, just like AFS. It's just a website that anyone can register for and pay for with a credit card. We're having no issues and haven't heard any rumblings about the FAA charging for this data anytime soon. We're posing on schedule every 28 days like normal.
We currently support PocketFMS and Jeppsen as well.

Greg fixed the problem and the GRT database update will be available on our website as soon as we receive the next cycle.
Again, we're sorry for any inconvenience caused by the delay.
