Jeppesen cuts prices, simplifies NavData and chart coverages for Garmin and Avidyne panels

Jeppesen has unveiled new offerings for pilots flying with Garmin and Avidyne avionics, designed “to provide greater coverage areas at a reduced price and with a simpler purchasing experience,” according to company officials.

Prior to the changes, Jeppesen offered more than 100 different charting coverages. That has been simplified to 14 coverage options, according to company officials. Previously, Jeppesen charts covering the United States cost $960 a year. Now, charting coverage for all of North America is $449, a 53% savings.

In addition, Jeppesen charts purchased for a panel also come with four keys, which are licenses that allow pilots to also use their charts in ForeFlight Mobile or ForeFlight Web, allowing for easier reference both during flight planning as well as inflight, company officials noted.

NavData coverages have also been condensed. Previously, Jeppesen NavData covering the U.S. cost $491 a year. Now NavData coverage for all of the Americas is $349, a 29% savings.

Pilots can purchase the new coverages via Shop.Jeppesen.com. Existing customers can opt in to the new offerings at their subscription renewal date.
