I'll second Al's PIREP, at least as far as the plate packs are concerned. I
have paid for Seattle Avionics' Smart Plates and had been using it but have
switched to Greg's package. For one thing, the printed charts are clearer.
Also, Smart Plates is huge and slow. ATP is small and fast.

If you supplement ATP with FinePrint (www.fineprint.com) you can easily print
booklets of plates, two sided. I have one called "metro practice approaches"
that I just print a fresh copy every once in a while.

(FinePrint is a pretty handy gadget for other things, too, like printing
avionics reference manuals in approach plate sized booklets. Take the output to
OfficeBizMaxMart and get it coil bound for three bucks and you have an easily
portable manual. There is a free demo download.)

I have no relation to Greg either but have been helping with the testing of the
app and have seen as it has developed.

YMMV
