Automatic Overlay of Georeferenced Charts

Group: Forum Members Posts: 626, Visits: 15K	I have "Automatically Show Georeferenced Plates" enabled and I have a subscription to Pooleys. It used to be the case that when approaching an airfield, the Pooleys plate would be loaded and overlaid on the chart, but recently, SD's own plate has been loaded and overlaid on the chart instead. I understand that this is the default and it cannot be changed. Since my preference is for the Pooleys plate to be automatically loaded and overlaid on the chart, I would like to request this as a user selectable option please. I am sure that users of other flight guides would appreciate the option too.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 626, Visits: 15K	+x Tim Dawson - 10/25/2019 9:16:53 AM Ok, thanks. I can confirm that PDF airfield diagrams are not automatically overlaid when SkyDemon has vector mapping of airfield taxiways, buildings etc in the base map. This has been the case for many years and explains the behaviour you are seeing. ...PDF airfield diagrams are not automatically overlaid when SkyDemon has vector mapping of airfield taxiways, buildings etc in the base map. So what then is the point of having an "Automatically Show Georeferenced Plates" function when it doesn't do what it is supposed to do?
