Swedish NOTAM ES/B3264/14 is not correctly charted in SkyDemon. The affected area is along a line between two coordinates. SkyDemon charts this NOTAM as a circle centered on one of the coordinates.

The NOTAM is about laser radiation from a light show, and although you can't tell from the NOTAM, the coordinate where the lasers are located is NOT the one marked with a circle in SkyDemon, nor is that coordinate included in the circle area.

If SkyDemon can't show the affected area as a line, then I think the next best solution would be a circle centered on the midpoint of the line and having a diameter equal to the length of the line.

All NOTAM have a position and effective radius for the purposes of narrow route generation. It is this "circle of influence" which SkyDemon falls back to when drawing NOTAM on the map, if the plain text in the NOTAM cannot be automatically machine-read and a more specific area charted.

I do not believe that what you are seeing is a bug.

You're right. The "Q-line" of the NOTAM appears to be incorrectly coded. I've contacted the NOTAM office about this.

It took me a while to find a web site that would produce the full "raw" text of the NOTAM. Is it possible to get this in SkyDemon?

No, it isn't, sorry.
