Agreed. Jepps are totally non-standardized. Random speeds all over the place on arrivals and approaches. LIDOS were much better and designed for an EFB. Jepps were designed for paper (and not well).Originally Posted by Eldee5
We used Lido at my last job. Charts were clear, properly colored, easy to read, and human factor-centric. Jeppesen could take a page out of their playbook.

Agreed. I actually preferred LIDOS even when we had them in paper and they took twice the space of Jepps. Originally Posted by m3113n1a1

Yep. My only complaint was having to unfold and scan the LIDOs. I'd love to see these on the EFB. The ability to zoom/scroll would make those amazing.Originally Posted by Vsop

Yeah, it was actually formatted for zooming and a digital display. I bet they're cheaper than jepps too.. but that's just a guess based on the bottom feeder regionals who used them.Originally Posted by captkdobbs

I think FedEx has them too. At least that was the rumor when Pinnacle switched to them. Originally Posted by m3113n1a1

LIDO was originally an Airbus product (IIRC). I wonder, with our relationship with the non-airplane side of Airbus (Navblu, other apps) if we could get a discount on LIDO. ???

Jeppesen digital products have been vector graphics for decades. The software (whether Jepp FD Pro or ForeFlight) has a data string describing what to draw and then draws them.Originally Posted by captkdobbs

AMM and the enroute map yeah, but I'm pretty sure the plates are just PDFs, which is why updates take so long and the whole thing is so slow.Originally Posted by dmhpilot

FWIW all Jepp charts are drawn with vector graphics including the plates and aren’t PDFsOriginally Posted by Khantahr
