I can confirm there is now an option to prevent the automatic display of georeferenced plates, as of the forthcoming version.

Just want to add my vote for some way (switch?) to surpress or enable the aip chart overlay, I find I mostly dont want it except when planning

Hi Martin, georeferenced means SD shows your actual location on the chart in flight. rgds. Paul

Can anyone tell me what special information I should look for on the georeferenced plate?

I have always just tapped the red x and therefore maybe have missed the idea with georeferenced plates.

...and to make it pefect (in my humble opinion) , in cases 2 and 3 SD will check if the plates are available and will otherwise download them automatically👌

In Air Nav Pro, there is a setting-screen to chose between
- manually
- all airports on planned route
- departure/arrival airport on route
- nearest airport at current position
which I found a very convenient solution

Thank you for confirming you were referring to compass deviation. The issue of automatically appearing georeferenced plates is one we have scheduled for internal discussion.

Regarding the map, it’s basically just annoying having halve the screen showing the georeferenced map and the other showing the normal map when I’m not inbound to land. I don’t know,”black and white” mixed with the bright colours of the normal map is not something I personally want. And I feel I get a much better situational awareness without the georeferenced map most places since it has better details, so that makes me keep having to close it again and again as it comes back. But at the same time it would be nice to have it downloaded so that I can check it before arrival and sometimes at high altitudes I don’t have any service to download it. That’s my main problem with it. It should be able to download and turned to off unless I ask for it.

And yes I know about the 15 seconds. Flying a fast airplane sometimes 15 seconds is sometimes a long time to wait, so I was hoping there was just a click for me to center the screen. No big problem just saying I would have liked to have it.

Deviation is a error caused by influences of the airplane where it is installed. This can be caused by many things such as ferrous materials, wiring with running currents.


To be more specific, Compass deviation.Deviation is written on a little chart located close to the compass in each airplane and says something like on heading 090 deviation +-3 of stear 093. This we put into the navigational plan.

I know this is GPS navigation but would have been nice to have the option so that it’s possible to generate a 100% operational flight plan that can be printed and for use in offline mode when the gps stops working for example

I second this and i know that almost everyone that I know that use skydemon is very annoyed by this feature. We don’t understand why it’s not an option to still have it “not appear” even though it’s downloaded.

What’s even worse is that I regularly fly a route, sometimes 3 times a day, that goes in somewhat of a circle around my airport and many times even when I’m not on the final leg of my route towards the airport the overlay keep appearing. So I have to close it again and again........and again. At least only make it show up when your actually at the end of the route, bur now i know that i can delete so it will stop appearing But would have liked to have it ready for that one time in a 100 when i want to check it.


And while I’m at it two small little things:

-Please let it be possible to update airplanes with the deviation for that plane.
- And I think I must be missing something because the “follow the aircraft option” when I turn it on is great, it follows it and if I scroll to far away I can push the arrows pointing to the aircraft. But when I only move the map a little bit off and then want it to follow the airplane I don’t seem to find a button for this? My only fix then is to untoggle the follow button again to make it do so.

Besides this very happy with it and introduce it to all my students!
