I used that a lot in the past (!), with FLIGHTMASTER witch was a great software for PALM OS. But it is true that today, with the beautiful moving maps we have, interest is lower .... Have good flights ... Michel

Group: Awaiting Activation Posts: 4, Visits: 27	In reply to Tim Dawson, here is one customer sticking to Garmin for OBS hold. Third post down on this pprune forum March 2013 tmmorris: http://www.pprune.org/private-flying/510967-saving-imc-did-we-do-enough-can-we-do-more-5.html We need accuracy to 10 degrees, so that's 36 waypoints for any parachute dropping zone. Fly at a few airfields, and that's a lot of user waypoints and very cumbersome. There seems to be a lot of likes to this thread now. Any news Skydemon? Edited 7/11/2014 8:23:15 AM by mallyrich

Couple that with the fact we haven't received any direct demand for the feature (email, phone etc) and I'm afraid that simply isn't very compelling. We do not attempt to be all things to all people.

I can only imagine that others would also subscribe to your fab software if you could set an OBS function and alarms ie dme to an airfield.. this would be very very useful for parachute flying.. appreciate you guys are busy. would it be a lot of work?
