I am running SD for Android version 3.0.5.18699. According to the Flying with Skydemon video, some aerodrome charts are available as overlay on the map. In the video the example with the aerodrome EGKB is shown, so I downloaded the UK maps and the charts for EGKB. But there is no yellow aeroplane symbol on the chart list, which should indicate that overlay is supported. The documentation doesn't say that this feature is iPad specific. So why don't I see the yellow aeroplane symbol on the chart in the Plate tab?

I think the combo SD on Windows PC & Android Tablet is very popular. There is no reason why the android release is so far behind, it shouldn't be treated as some sort of by-product. In Germany the Flightplanner 6.0 Windows/Android combo is very popular among pilots. A huge market to gain...

....just my 2 cents

I agree with Svartbjorn. I am quite happy with SkyDemon as a flight planner (using Android), but I would change to another flight planner before changing hardware if I ever felt that the Android version no longer stood up to the competition.

I am using lots of software on my Android so there are many other factors that affect my choice of tablet OS. (Not the least of which is Apples policy for its App Store.)
