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?

Our maps are better than our competitors (overall) which is why you use SkyDemon. But everything in software is a compromise and nothing is perfect. Some of the things that make our maps great are also a potential liability in other areas, and it's up to us to balance this in the best way we can. We have acknowledged the deficiency in some of the scenery data we use and if it's practical for us to do something about it, we will do so. It would be silly not to. But if we don't, or if we don't immediately, rest assured there is a good reason for that.
