Well, I've long been disappointed with Seattle Avionics refusal to develop a simple OS app for installing the databases on Macs. It's like they are stuck in the IBM 80's. Now with Airmate providing exactly this, for a third of the cost I have to suggest that Seattle Avionics isn't going to be around much longer. Not only does Airmate support OS, they support iOS and can update databases directly from an iPhone, according to their promotional materials. Anybody use, them or this feature, and would you care to report how well it works?
I don't know about others but I fly a lot and during those periods where the data sets are transitioning,,, like during Airventure. Being able to stay current with my iPhone would be very handy.
So, you might ask, why not bail on SA? Well, some years ago they offered a lifetime subscription for a reasonable cost so my Scottish blood can't see any other option other than trying to convince SA to join the 21st century. I'm sure they could hire a 13 year old OS geek to develop an OS app. Or find one who is 16 and give them free flying lessons to develop the app.
