I agree 100%.

I think the only electronic versions available are Jepp, NOS, and LIDO. I used NOS before the airline life, LIDO at JetBlue, and Jepp at a couple of airlines. You don't want anything but Jepp products. The LIDO charts were a nightmare, some had crossing restrictions that were not listed resulting in crew violations, some approaches took two charts to reference, they were just a total mess. NOS charts were a little better, but nothing close to Jepp. I'd rather carry my own Jepps and do updates than have NOS or LIDO charts even if they are electronic.
