Do you really think the decision is in the hands of Ian?

The deal is still on and the charts and software continue to improve. Those that actually set them up and use them are generally content with them.
We are switching all software over to nav blue offerings. Not just the charts.

Mapping of SIDS and STARS is lacking, however this is being corrected. Navigation use in flight is great. Try tapping on fixes and airports enroute for example. A diversion is easy to find info etc. I don’t think YOU have actually given them an in use try.

With the exception of SIDS and STARS the charts are in many ways superior to jepps. More consistently laid out. Actual tower operation hours depicted. Highlighted missed approach altitude. Easier in air navigation and setup. Auto reverse of route. Cut and paste flight plan. Progressive monitoring numbers.
