I've used EasyVFR on my Android tablet, before switching to SkyDemon. The reason for the switch to SD was being able to plan routes on my PC (which works superbly) and also the easier to read charts.

So far it's been all good (in general SD far exceeds EasyVFR), but there's one EasyVFR feature i really mis. In EasyVFR, I could get an overview of all airspace crossed for an entire route.
  • the class of airspace (e.g. D)
  • type of airspace (e.g. TMA)
  • name / controlling entity (e.g. Nowhereville TMA-D)
If a leg crosses multiple regions, it would show multiple lines. You could also tap on a line in the list of airspace for a leg, to see it outlined on the chart and get relevant frequencies.

EasyVFR also has an Airspace Briefing report (PDF / print), which gives you an overview of all airspace near your intended route, with classes, relevant frequencies, etc...

Is there any way in SD to get an overview of all airspace crossed (type, class, name / controlling entity and perhaps relevant frequencies)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(I'm using 3.0.7.0 on Windows 8.1 and  3.0.7.19226 on a Google Nexus 7 2012 device)

No, not really. From memory that's the first time such a feature has been proposed. We would never implement a feature just because a competitor has it, but in general if lots of people ask for something it does eventually make it into SkyDemon.

The closest feature is probably just the PLOG, which includes all relevant frequencies for your route and makes it clear when you're being given a frequency because you have penetrated a piece of airspace. I suppose we could make available a big list of penetrated airspace, but I honestly don't understand what the benefit would be. It's clear in the Virtual Radar too.
