Yes (ten characters)
Yes Navigraph is absolutely worth it. Live moving maps with the Approach chart directly on the map with your location. Tons of charts and maps including airport maps with your moving location so you can find your way around the airport with ease.
Itās a must have for me. Both VFR and IFR. Esp. in VR.
Iāve been using FS Kneeboard in VR. I donāt have Navigraph (yet). Can you open a Navigraph chart or approach plate in VR and place it where you want in the cockpit?
Yes, Navigraph has a toolbar app that allows you to open charts in the VR cockpit. It works great. However, Navigraph has recently released a new version which cannot be used via the toolbar app. This is because of the technology used in the new version. There is no workaround for this although I presume that we can still use the old version.

Thank you for that information. Strange that newer technology would decrease functionality, especially in what imho is the future: VR !

Pardon my ignorance and my question is to Xbox users.
How does Navigraph integrate with Xbox?
Where will the charts appear?Would those appear through EFBs or one would require to download on a tablet and keep referring to that.
Does one see your plane moving on the map/ charts.
Needless to add that I am on Xbox X series and using Simbrief through various aircraftās EFB.That part is not the issue but now I want more immersion hence my interest in Navigraph subscription.
IS IT WORTH SUBSCRIBING CONSIDERING OUR LIMITATIONS AS XBOX USERS.
Grateful for advice/ guidance from fellow simmers.
With the FSR500 as an example. You see the charts on G1000, thereās a moving Navigraph map in the EFB and you can broadcast your position to you mobile, iPad, etc.
This is a list of supported planes on Xbox and their features:

Thank you for a quick response.Let me see if its helpful.
Navigraph subscriber on Xbox Series X here. There are 3 models in my hangar can display charts, and more importantly to me take advantage of SimLink, which is telemetry out to Navigraph as displayed in a browser: FSR500, G2 VisionJet, and the HondaJet.
This is huge for us on Xbox as you can extend your flight deck on tablets, laptops, etc. I have 3 used 12.9" iPad Pros deployed when I fly so my Navigraph charts and SimBrief plans are all handy, as well as my own procedure checklists and any aircraft manuals I want open. When not flying one of the 3 SimLink aircraft, I have to move the maps manually, just like in the old days, except they are not on paper. Actually, I prefer to view my charts on an external tablet for so many reasons. Love my Navigraph subscription as much as MSFS itself. I have always wanted Jepp charts for flight sim!
Iām signed up since I started using BATC. Iāve always used the free version before that, and it suited my needs for the most part. I think Iāve climbed a step, in terms of how realistic I want things to be, so I took the plunge. Now I donāt have to look at, ānav database is out of dateā, everytime I fly a 3rd party aircraft. As a bonus, you can also use it for Xplane, which I do dabble in now again (it was on sale, too good to pass up), not nearly as much as MSFS though.

That sounds great.I will start looking for old but working iPads.I am in a part of the globe where these things are very expensive hence used till those are dead.Lol!!!.
However you have explained solution to my query and I think that seems to be the only way we Xbox users can have the advantage of Navigraph.I understand those three planes you have mentioned do have the charts integrated and can be referred to within their instrument panels.
Appreciate input on the topic.
