Hi there,

even if myself did not encouter severe issues within Germany yet there are some very bad vibrations on SD chart accuracy especially in Italian and German charts. Compared to physical ones there is a deviation between for example location of CTRs/ED-Rs/VFR routes and so on thus you cannot rely on that.
You can find more detailed info in a German forum of the very well known magazine "Pilot und Flugzeug" unfortunately only in German language:
https://www.pilotundflugzeug.de/forum/2014,01,31,21,3039439

It is worth reading it because many German pilots are building their opinion upon that and the most important thing of a moving map is accuracy in charts. I think articles like this one prevent thousands of potential users subscribing to SD. Therefore please focus on accuracy instead of features as the tool from that perspective is leading egde so far...

Having that said I will always compare my tracks against physical charts and will report any inconsistence.

Cheers,
joseffe

Hi Tim,

Just a quick one: All other "grounded" data beside roads and railways is accurate, rigtht? I refer to cities, lakes and so on...

Thanks again,

at least concerning the restriction area LO-R 18 east ofst gallen/altenrhein (LSZR) not. the eastern boundary is more or less thewestern shore of the river rhine (legally it's a lot more complex, i know).

almost all german forums criticize not the aviation dataitself but the ground data as skydemon is viewed as a means of getting rid ofpaper charts, esp since jeppesen no longer publishes vfr-gps charts. it'smarketed this way.

i also strongly urge to get a better data source or givea statement concerning each area/state. this is definitely seen a problematictopic in this part of the market.

otherwise keep going, well done product!
