I'm a Dynon Skyview owner. I decided to subscribe to the Seattle Avionics chart service for a year. After a few months, I have to say I'm very disappointed in both the product and, mostly, the update process.
I've had the update process running most of the afternoon. I can literally count on my fingers faster than the file update numbers click by on the Seattle Avionics update counter. How can that be? In this day and age, how can it POSSIBLY take this long to transfer files from the internet, to my computer, and then, as a separate process, to the SD card which will eventually carry the data to my Skyview system.
If I were Dynon, I would fire Seattle Avionics tomorrow. Then, I'd let them compete on the new contract to supply thousands of Dynon users with data. I suspect they would either make major changes to their services, or lose the contract. Either way, I'd be happy. Right now though, I see this as a Dynon failure. And, I REALLY like Dynon!
So, come on guys (Dynon Guys, I've think the Seattle Avionics guys are clearly brain dead), please provide a more usable charting option for those of us who do not want to spend several HOURS a month updating our Skyview databases!
Rant over!
