Night Charts - Myairplane.com

As many pilots know you can get terminal, sectional, and other charts in a PDF format at www.myairplane.com

A friend of mine recently pointed out a really neat service also available there. Many TRACONs use charts with the colors on the electronic charts inverted because of the dark radar room. Well I dont know if this is new or anything, but I've just found that myairplane has these.

You can check them out at http://myairplane.com/databases/NightCharts/index.php
Does anyone know how long this has been around?

I've never seen those before, didn't know that NACO did them. Do they really work well at night?

OK, I must be brain dead.

I click on the link, type an airport ID into the search box, and I get plain old black-on-white charts. What am I doing wrong?

Here's Ashville, NC (KAVL)... it has some terrain around it. You should see 'blue-ish' contours for the mountains.
