One-Time Purchase Charts
Most charts are available with a one-time payment for a specific chart version (as mentioned in the product name). Once purchased, you can download and use these charts on compatible devices as long as they remain valid according to their publication cycle.
Subscription Charts
Some charts like the one from Rogers Data and the European VFR Chart for Dynon Avionics are offered as subscription products, allowing continuous access as long as your subscription remains active. During the subscription period, new chart versions are automatically available for download when published by the chart supplier.
View the Charts on your SkyView
We're assuming you have already successfully filled your Dynon USB memory stick; how that's done is described here.
A SkyView does not have sufficient memory to hold the charts. The memory stick should remain plugged in, or the chart will not be available.
For a two-panel setup, you’re allowed to copy the stick onto a second stick and insert that in your #2 panel. The #2 panel will authenticate with the master panel at system start via the Dynon network cable, and you will be able to use the plates on either panel.
Dynon SkyView HDX
Insert your prepared Dynon USB memory stick into your SkyView panel.
Select [MENU]
Select [MAP LAYERS].
Tap on the chart you want to show on the map.
Note that only the charts that are unlocked in the KeyFile are listed. Always make sure to have the latest KeyFile and chart files downloaded.
Charts purchased before March 2021 (filename starts with an F, H or I), can break the menu structure when combined with the latest charts. Advice is to only have the files of valid charts on your Dynon USB memory stick (filename starts with an J or 0).
You can zoom and pan the chart on the moving map with pinching on the touchscreen as well as with the right dial.
Dynon SkyView Classic
Viewing the charts works very similar to SkyView HDX. The only difference is that in order to see the [INFO] button at step 2.2 you first need to click on [MAP] > [LAYERS]. See page two of this document: View SkyView charts.
Another obvious difference is the screen quality, some plates and charts shown on SkyView Classic won't be as sharp and readable as they are on an HDX.
Dynon Certified Compatibility
Raster charts are compatible with most Dynon Certified firmware versions. Some certified SkyView versions have dedicated firmware as part of their certification process. Depending on the base version, a chart or dataset may not be compatible with these systems. When in doubt, please contact our team.
Owners and users of SkyViews running aircraft-specific firmware should contact Dynon Support before acquiring a license.
Overlay Aviation Vector Data over Chart
SkyView has a setting that controls whether vector layers are displayed over a raster chart.
When this setting is disabled (the default), SkyView still uses the aviation dataset for map interaction, airfield information, navigation, and warnings. However, airspace lines, obstacles, and navaids are not overlaid on the enabled raster chart to reduce visual clutter.
If you prefer to see these vector elements, you can enable them. The exact steps depend on your SkyView model:
For SkyView HDX:
Go to MENU → MAP SETUP → MAP MODE → "SHOW AVIATION DATA OVER CHART"For SkyView Classic:
Go to MAP → MAP MENU → MAP MODE → "SHOW AVIATION DATA OVER CHART"
