I'm posting this request to aid not only in my avionics planning, but hopefully to create a resource for others. If there is a thread or other web resource with this info aggregated, I haven't found it and would love a link. Otherwise, I prefer not calling Jeppesen for this much info.
Here's what I'm looking for:
1 - How much does your database cost? One-time? Subscription(s)?
2 - Are there database options, if so, what costs?
2 - Is it / are they downloadable?
3 - Backupable? (yes I think I made that word up)
4 - Do you need any special equipment to install? (i.e. do you get it soft and upload it or do you have to swap hardware with Jepp)
5 - Other comments / thoughts
I'm specifically looking for the data for IFR capable GPS's and GPS/Comms, as well as a few handhelds, including but not limited to:
Garmin 400 series / 500 series / 300XL / 155XL
Apollo GX50 / GX55 / GX60 / GX65
Garmin 396 / 496
Given that others are probably looking, what I'd really like to see is ANYONE with any GPS or Moving Map Display, available or discontinued, respond in this thread with costs and comments so we can build a bit of a knowledge base. I'll be glad to summarize and organize if called for.
Thanks in advance,
George
