DAC International has entered the EFB fray with the “Gen-X” electronic flight bag, a product that the company touts as unique because it is constructed to professional-grade avionics standards yet carries an uninstalled list price of less than $10,000.
What’s really interesting about the Gen-X device is that it uses electronic charts supplied by Jeppesen (no surprise there) or by Maptech, a name better known to boaters than pilots. DAC has formed an exclusive alliance with Maptech to create a full library of e-charts for airline and corporate aviation use, with the goal of selling chart subscriptions for “just a fraction of what the incumbent chart data supplier” charges. The unit can also run Lido database-driven charts, DAC said.
