I'm not flying yet and haven't bought Canadian maps for my HDX, but I can tell you the maps included in the SkyView for Canada are most certainly not useful. I think the nearest airport in the database is in Montana. I expect I'll be buying PocketFMS maps when the time comes. Will be supplementing that with my current ForeFlight subscription.
I would love to hear if anyone sees a benefit one way or the other between Jepp and PocketFMS for Canadian data.
Also, nice to see someone nearby on VAF. Not many people here from Central Alberta.
