Hi Tim,

I must say I agree with Buchke in that the glyph that SD uses isn't prominent enough and could be easily missed.
It may be so that the symbol the CAA use isn't standard but it is does make the location of these sites much more noticeable.
There have been recent articles published regarding aircraft overflying gliding sites and para drop zones with the obvious very serious consequences of a mid-air collision or hitting a winch cable, the latter being all but invisible until too late

In the interests of safety can you consider a different, more prominent, type of symbol to mark parachute drop zones and gliding sites?

No; the symbology on SkyDemon cannot be changed. The CAA chart has opted for a fictional radius around glider sites whereas we do not show a fictional radius; showing instead a glyph denoting that glider launching takes place. One of the main reasons for this was to try to stop people treating it as an "ATZ" and assuming it's safe outside the fictional line.

I'm new to Skydemon and mostly I love it but I am surprised at what an insignificant symbol is placed on the map for a gliding site (and/or parachuting).
Is there any way to switch on a more significant designator, like the CAA maps have?
