A dangerous situation occurred when I pre selected the visual approach chart RW09 for EHMZ. About 6 NM from the airfield, just before turning downwind, I noticed that SkyDemon had replaced my selected approach chart RW09 for approach chart RW27! The same situation occurred when approaching and selecting the correct plate (overlay mode) for EHGG, when navigating into the circuit SkyDemon replaced the chart with another approach plate. I was very confused at that moment, not sure what happened and questioned my selections. 
After doing some investigation, I found out that SkyDemon is auto selecting plates for you based on location (georeferencing auto selections). I reproduced the situation on my iPad afterwards using the simulation mode. A friend of mine had a similar situation where SkyDemon replaced the selected approach chart for EHHV with an incorrect approach plate now displaying the wrong approach procedure. This auto loading of plates is clearly not working when multiple runway specific plates are available for an aerodrome. Now I cannot thrust the approach charts I select anymore. Unfortunately you cannot switch this off. This leads to confusion and dangerous situations during flight. Tim Dawson, could you make sure this feature can be switched off in a next release?

Great, looking forward to it. 
The issue is very easy to reproduce:
- Create a new route direct from EHRD to EHMZ
- Select about half way the overlay for VISUAL APPROACH CHART RWY 09
- About 6NM before the airfield the plate is replaced by VISUAL APPROACH CHART RWY 27
What I also notice is that it removes my selected chart during the flight a couple of times, looks like when I'm overlaying the chart in an early stage of flight and when I'm exiting a FIS area (or something), the destination chart is removed for some reason.
What is the logic about that? That is also something I do not want during flight. I have the uncomfortable feeling that charts are removed, placed and replaced by SkyDemon during my flight, unwanted obviously.
