Control Vision users

[SteveG]

Gentlemen: Another recent thread has Kevin & Jim discussing the use of Control Vison products. As a new user of this technology I would be interested in corresponding with others using this moving map product. Especially those of you who have significant experience in its operation, hence the start of a new thread.
I purchased the AnywhereMap, PocketPlates and XM Weather software along with a Motion LS800 tablet computer and the necessary XM and GPS receivers at the Oshkosh show last July. My primary reason was to display the XM weather products and have an EFB for approach plates. The display of low enroute and sectional data seemed like a nice additional feature. Unfoutunately I have yet to conduct a x-country flight with any significant reliance on this system. It took over a month to receive the system from Control Vision and a couple of weeks to inch along the software learning curve. The system was delivered without any internet security software so another week went by researching and installing Norton IS2008 allowing data updates. The hardware fits in the acft. nicely with the power cube and the XM receiver tucked into the starboard side pocket and the tablet mounted between the control yoke handles like it was a custom design. On the first flight however the weather display froze after a couple of minutes and never updated again. I have since installed the latest software release and so far it seems the programers have that issue resolved. The other software glitch is that the display of airspace restrictions highlighted by reference to flight altitude does not consistantly work properly. There is no mention on the CV website of any near term fix for this bug. Additionally, accuracy of depicted airspace data seems to be questionable. AOPA had to apply some heat when, for example, the new Phoenix Bravo went into effect and CV's 56 day update didn't portray the change. The most irritating part is that the CV website recently displayed, in bold red letters, that they were aware of all these issues but that it was the user's problem to verify all navigational data. As if to say that their product was only an interesting desktop game but if you actually wanted to go flying you're on your own to have gov't produced data aboard.
Bottom line is I just don't trust the product yet, if ever. To think that one is going to constantly verify an EFB display against current paper charts defeats the whole purpose, adding yet another layer of complexity rather than simplifying SPIFR/VFR navigation. Does anyone really spend some 4K on hardware & software and commit to some 8C/yr for data maintenance only to have outdated or incomplete information? The system looks like it may function OK for my primary intent (weather & plates) but so far the moving map display has been somewhat disappointing.
I'd be most interested in reading an expanded discussion of other users experiences, good or bad, and keeping this thread going as a forum for continuing operational questions. Particularly in that the CV forums seem to have very little to offer. Some on that site have even complained that corporate policy is to delete any uncomplimentary discussion but I don't know why when you cannot access the website forums until after you have already purchased the product.
Happy flying, Steve G.

p.s. - It seems that when trying to enter a flight plan the program does not recognize V-airways. One has to enter every fix along the entire route rather than just the flight plan route segments. Is this correct?
