I had to stop because of declining weather condition. The gps showed me the nearest airport so I typed on Skychart pro to access the information on the airport York, NE.
It brought up the selector page and I hit AFD. It told me that it didn't have Internet and gave me a blank page.
Luckly someone was on the unicom and gave me the information that I needed.
Now that I am on the ground and have wifi access I get the info. I have the entire US caches but there is no information about why it wouldn't have this part of NE.
Maybe it is time to update the data again. After landing there is no indicator that the cache needs updating. This program needs to provide cached info even if it out of date! This program needs to indicate that it is loading new data.
New data should be downloaded into a different data file and only after the download is complete the cached data removed.
If the data is stale, just give a warning then provide the information.
