Hi Team SD,
I decided to swing over to SD from another product - not only but also because I read in the SD description about to be able to "...make a textbook approach or navigate your way through a confusing System of taxiways once landed.". So I also bought a subsription for the German AIP and indeed I found the georeferenced Approach and Arrival plates. But I have not seen one georeferenced Aerodrome Chart yet.
Am I doing something wrong?
If not: when can we expect to receive such charts - at least for the bigger airports with more complicated taxiway systems?

In my wild, wet dreams I envision a digital map with rich, detailed layers that adapts the information displayed perfectly to the current flight stage and my needs at that moment.

Part of that dream is a map which zooms in to show me a vectorized, georeferenced airport layout chart which helps me to interpret taxi instructions on busy and large airfields. It is a mere compromise to have different charts embedded into the background chart. This is a band-aid solution. The ultimate solution is to have all the data combined into one chart which adapts to my needs on the fly.

And guess what: it is already available from openflightmaps.org. The Austrian rescue helicopter service from ÖAMTC are using it. The German ADAC helicopter pilots have asked to use it too and are currently testing it. The Swiss rescue helicopter service is also lining up for it. And helicopter pilots are notorious in that they require detailed map information including up-to-date obstacles much more detailed than would be necessary for the GA pilot.

I had hoped that Tim from SD would have a serious and open‌‌ minded talk with Oliver from Openflightmaps.org. Unfortunately, this hasn't happened yet.

Greetings, -- Chris.‌‌
