Last week we flew from Helsinki to Belgium with a fourship formation, the lead was doing the navigation and had garmin 430 GPS on board. We however did not and I was following with skydemon in VFR mode. At some point the ATC cleared us to OGLOB waypoint and we turned with the lead but I could not find this point. First of all I hadnt understood well the controller and I tried using the search waypoint function in skydemon. Upon typing O some waypoints appeared. Then I entered the G and skydemon says : No Results found !!!!
Only when typing it fully it finds this point. Is this normal? Should this waypoint not show already when typing OG or OGL ...

In the mean time I have also switched on to see the airways waypoints on the map and that makes it easier to spot the waypoints but the behavior of the search function is still the same.

Thanks for the reply... but not so happy with the result... in case you dont understand clearly the ATC its difficult to search..
also sometimes they dont pronounce it so clearly so it might be that you got the spelling not completely right abd then its
hard to find a point. Maybe there could be a fast search and a performance search, depending on the performance drawn
from the device?

Anyway, just tried it with the OGLOB waypoint and also OGLO gives no result found .... while i have already 4 chars , however, as soon as I enter 3 chars I get already VRPs, citys with these 3 chars but not the airway reporting points. For those I need to enter it completely...

Anyway, thanks for the fast respons, appreciated...
