Narrative:

We had been given a clearance to follow V16 as part our IFR route. We checked the jeppesen enroute low altitude chart #47-48; which is what our company supplies for our navigational purposes; and entered the waypoints to follow into the GPS. Somewhere just southwest of the CCC VOR ATC called us and notified us that we were no longer following V16. Apparently a change that was effective that day had affected V16 and we weren't following it. In that area V16 used to go from CCC to dpk to jfk. Now it departs CCC to keepm intersection to jfk. This was not reflected on the jeppesen chart. It is however noted in the chart change notice in the front of the book. Jeppesen does not consider this change to be important enough to reprint the chart. This is a large deviation in airspace that at times can be very busy and very crowded. There is approximately a 10NM difference between keepm and the old route. This is big enough that it could cause an unsafe situation. I feel that I am a conscientious and cautious pilot and I check the small details for every flight. However I never realized that enroute chart change notices could be allowed with items that are this important. I have never been witness to any pilot ever checking the enroute change notices for every airway on every flight. I don't believe that most pilots realize how much of a difference there can be. When looking in the change notices supplied by jeppesen; they are very specific and definitely accurate; but are hard to read and find the sections that apply only to your flight. The government charts printed by the FAA appear to have the correct route plotted on them. If the correct route had been shown on the jeppesen chart we would not have made this mistake. If it was easier for pilots to check the chart changes that affected their route pilots would do it more often.

Title: A Fractional Crew reported that the current Commercial Low Altitude Airways Charts 47-48 did not reflect a recent V16 airway change. Consequently the route entered into the GPS was incorrect so ATC alerted about the deviation from clearance.
