Narrative:

Survey regarding the charts+ program: I picked two airports at random to fly to and from; flg to dro. The low route is flg V291 inw V95 rsk V95DRO and the high route is J10 from flg VOR to rsk VOR. I compared charts+ with jeppesen. On the high en route chart; the charts+ shows an MEA [minimum en-route altitude] at F180 but it is missing the maximum authorized altitude (maa) of FL400. Not all the J routes have an MEA listed either. At J44 _ J110 from rsk VOR to ALS VOR there are no MEA listed at all. On the low en route charts the MEA is sometimes missing as well. From flg to inw on the V291 the MEA is 10;100. But it is not consistently labeled on that segment on charts+. From inw to rsk on V95 charts+ shows two different meas. One MEA is at 11;000 to casti and 13;000 after. Jeppesen shows 3 different meas. Inw to casti MEA 8;700 is southbound and 11;000 is northbound. Jeppesen also shows an mra [minimum reception altitude] 9;600 at butte. There is no mention of this mra in charts+. From casti to derma jeppesen has an MEA of 13;000 and a MOCA of 11;400; but the charts+ does not show the MOCA of 11;400. Jeppesen has derme to rsk MEA of 13;000 southbound and 8;300 northbound. Charts+ has nothing listed for any MEA between derme and rsk. The leg between rsk and dro has no MEA listed at all on charts+.the jeppesen grid mora over rsk shows 11;800 and charts+ has 11;400. Why is there a 400 foot difference? Just to the east of rsk; jeppesen has 11;500 and charts+ has 10;400. Why is there an 1;100 foot deference? For basic IFR flying; a pilot needs to have MEA; mra; MOCA [minimum obstruction clearance altitude]; and maa [maximum authorized altitude] for the route of the flight. I feel that it would be unsafe to fly with charts+ with so much of the basic information missing.charts+ is not ready to go live. There is missing information that could cause a violation or an unsafe flight.
