Hi,

I would like to purchase Skydemon, but there is one thing that is holding me off. I tested Jeppesen Mobile Flitedeck, Garmin Pilot and Air Navigatioin Pro and Skydemon intensely. I like Skydemon with all it´s features the best. But the only thing that is missing and is for me absolute essential and that it is the bearing indicator. I don´t mean just showing it on the map or the HSI, I meant showing it in the upper row next to the distance to a waypoint in numbers of degree.
I don´t know one GPS application ever since I am flying, that doesn´t have this feature. And the is a reason for it. Because it is one of the basics, that every GPS must have.
For example when I am flying and I am off course to my next waypoint, I look on the GPS and read the bearing, put my heading bug on the course and fly to the waypoint. Or even when I am on course, I read the bearing sometimes just to check my compass.

I know that this was discussed before but and I understand, that you can´t fulfill every single whish of just one user. But please think about it again, it would make your program just perfect. Skydemon does not have to fear, by adding  a feature, that all the other programs have, not to be any different any more. I am sure that by how far Skydemon came by now, other programs try to copy it, because it is so good.

Why not use the Direct To function or the Insert in Route function. SD will immediately give you the new heading to steer and if you're not immediately sure which way to turn, because you have no DI perhaps, and you want to avoid mental gymnastics in the heat of the moment, pull the compass rose out from the bottom of the screen to give you the HSI representation and the magenta heading bug will clearly indicate which way to turn to get on to your new heading.

Alternatively, use the ruler function which will provide you with a 'Direct To' heading and distance.

Mike
