I'm planning an annual trek up the east coast from VA to ME. My standard procedure is to flight plan on the iPad and then fly the route with the Garmin 795 in the airplane.
Like many, I update my VFR GPS "periodically".
I have made this trip several times over the past few years and here is a typical route.
For all of my past trips, this route kept me clear of all the big airspace as well as the alert, restricted, and prohibited airspaces.
So imagine my surprise when I went to plan this year's trip and the current sectionals now have expanded PHL airspace and the corridor is gone.
I have a new route set for this year's flight and a healthy reminder to the importance for keeping (and using) current charts.
