Without wanting to offend any list members by writing about subjects that are clearly on this lists profanity list: I think the BA allready has a common source for both paper and electronic charts. It is not the electronic charts I do not trust, I believe they have a better opportunity to be accurate and most certainly to be up-to-date. I do not trust the software that you need to 'read' e-charts. From my own experience: The software crashed with very nasty error messages on a rather crucial point of my trip. It's true about the restaurants though...Axel
