I have a similar setup. I have 3x 10” Skyview touch screens: one PFD, one EMS and one Map. I then have a RAM mounted iPad centrally.
Despite this, I’ve fallen into the habit of not bothering to update my maps; and I might not renew my pocketFMS subscription.
I typically plan my flight at home and save the route to the cloud. Then once at the airfield I retrieve it onto the iPad. Once aircraft is running I transfer the route via WiFi to the Skyview. Autopilot then runs from Skyview.
ALL important decision making, controlled airspace awareness, etc... is always from
Skydemon directly. The Skyview for me is just a macro level graphical navigator.
This is because Skyview mapping is a decade behind Skydemon. The ability to analyse airspace both on a flat map, and the vertical view strip at the bottom is awesome.
Works for me!
