New improved digital sectionals
I was on foreflight this morning and thought something looked different/better about the sectionals. A quick google search yielded some cool info.
"Effective 3 APR 2014, the Sectional Aeronautical, Terminal Area, and World Aeronautical Raster Charts are greatly improved. Instead of using scanned chart images, the new d-VC is created directly from our digital files, resulting in a crisper and brighter image with improved georeferencing. Thanks to helpful customer feedback, we have also improved the rendering of type and features."
More info here.

...and meanwhile in Canada
Our Canadian charts are still written on birch bark with a quill dipped in moose blood.

Wow
Sharp, clear, bright!
I'm seeing details I never saw before, even on a hardcopy map.

Now they look as good as they did back in the early '60s.

FlyQ EFB has them as well.
Notified by email
Seattle Avionics makes US and European plates and charts for more than 20 apps and devices as well as FlyQ EFB so charts and near and dear to our hearts. That's why we're so excited to introduce new ClearVue Sectionals.
Starting today, downloading Sectionals to FlyQ EFB, new SmartPlates and Charts, or any app/device that uses our sectionals such as Dynon or GRT, means seeing Sectionals like you've never seen them before.
