Jeppesen charts are vector-based, meaning they scale smoothly. Zooming in on a complex intersection on an approach plate reveals crisp lines and readable text, even on smaller tablet screens. This contrasts with some government-issued PDF charts that can become pixelated at high zoom levels.
Jeppesen Chart Viewer 3 (CV3) is a desktop application from Jeppesen/Boeing used by flight crews and dispatchers to view and print Jeppesen navigation charts, approach plates, airport diagrams, and related operational documents.

The i--- feature introduces a context‑aware, gesture‑driven overlay that links chart elements (waypoints, procedures, obstacles, airspace boundaries) to real‑time aircraft state, NOTAMs, weather, and performance data. It reduces head‑down time and interpretation errors by displaying only the information relevant to the current phase of flight and chart view.
The interface of the Chart Viewer is utilitarian by design. It prioritizes function over flash, which is exactly what you want in the cockpit.
