DME arcs in Mexico are missing the names of the fixes on the arc

The SIDs and STARs are ridiculously cluttered
The order of the frequencies on the approach plates make ZERO sense
Is that enough to convince you tools why these charts are total junk?

The one I see that IS critical is the plan view right turn. Just my opinion.

Good to know. Still a lot of things to fix. The taxi diagrams are still a mess. It looks like they put zero effort into accurate placement of hand-off spots.

If this battery life difference is correct. Sounds like more fuel to keep this Charts+ off the property. We signed a contract with Jepp on the ipad. So if it alters the operation and potential life expectancy of the ipads we currently using. The use of charts+ on our ipads, could trigger a potential grievance. I know this is splitting hairs here, but it actually could come to that. it would be nice if our piece of crap union would say something regarding this latest current event.

While open in daytime mode:
New Charts after 15 minutes: 5% battery loss
Jepps after 15 minutes: 3% battery loss
Night Mode
New charts after 30 minutes: 8 Pct
Jepps after 30 minutes: 9 Pct
While Screen is OFF there is no difference in battery drain or any battery drain at all. Turn off your screen when not actively using the ipad. Press the little button at the top of the ipad. I've seen guys just leave them on all the time!
One thing the charts plus by default does is that it disables sleep mode on the device. You can change this setting in the preferences.
