I would pay for DVD updates rather than very large downloads. Also, I don't
like having to generate backups for individual trips, I would rather have
the whole thing available, or at least a large area. For an alternate
airport when conditions are really poor, I often choose one that is more
than 100 nm away, a Class B or C, where I can find good approaches with good
approach lighting and food, transportation, and lodging, and hopefully out
of the weather system that is causing the problem at my primary destination.
Generating a per-trip backup pack for that size corridor about my route
would be a lot of downloading.

Stan,

The downloads are free once you have the software.

And, when the updates come along, all that gets downloaded are the charts
that have changed.

I have the entire US on my tablet, and with broadband it just takes a few
minutes to do the updates -- not any longer than putting my JeppView CD
onto my computer.

So there's no problem with calling up a distant alternate "on the fly".
