Hi,

what is the reason that the charts, at least from Germany, are so inaccurate? Two examples:
Ammersee: Why is the bird area as well as the control zone shifted by one or two kilometers to West?



Peissenberg:
In the chart, the Ammer rivers flows through the village Peissenberg. This is definitely wrong! It flows about four kilometers east of Peissenberg.



What is the reason for these inaccurate charts? Is there an improvement to expect. it concerns all available chart styles.
This poor chart quality is not really a help for VFR flights. Is the any improvement to expect?

I hear what you are saying, Tim. Still as far as I know SD is the only aviation software knowingly accepting such inaccuracies in its basemap. It is the biggest downside to the program. In regions such as the above you can, reall, only rely on airspace avoidance and not vfr navigation by matching map features to the landscape outside. If I were responsible for SD, this is a stigma I would work really hard to lose quickly.
