Yes. Low enroute chart. Pretty much all I use now days. IFR flying is actually easier than VFR for cross country flying. You don't have to worry at all about airspace.

Thanks

I agree that I prefer to fly IFR vs VFR, even on severe-clear days.  However, I do still typically have the Sectional view on iFly vs. the low-enroute charts.  Most of the routings I get where I fly the most are either intersecting STARs/SIDs or other routes with radar vector or direct legs that aren't indicated on the LE charts anyway, and usually the weather's clear enough that I prefer to have the visual landmarks from the Sectional available vs. the info on the LE charts that I'm not actively using.  Thus, if there were an issue on an LE chart near me, I might not be aware of it.

Somewhat related.  On my return trip from FLA to MA this past week I came across this VOR on V1 that I could not get the data box to display at any zoom level.  I had to click on the waypoint to get the frequency (CVI 114.6).  This airway is not obscure, so I wondered why anyone else hasn't reported this.  The Toggle Low Enroute seam didn't change the view.  Is there something wrong with my database, or do others see this as well?

Hey Jeff - I'm getting mine just fine... did you press on the VOR?

The view of the Low Enroute chart I have will only provide the frequency/info box if I click on the WP. All other VORs on the chart show the information box as depicted on the paper chart along side the WP. No extra click necessary

Brolin, compare the iFly screenshot above with the "paper charts" (as represented on skyvector.com), here:

Low Enroute 35 (see info bubble at 9 o'clock position)
Low Enroute 36 (see info bubble at 12 o'clock position)
