pink leader (23/05/2011)
Since you can scroll through each leg in SD mobile while flying and see the time and distance to each waypointHow do you do this? If you can do this, then my 'problem' doesn't exist, and therefore my feature request is not needed. But I've just fired it up again and I can't see any way of finding an ETA to a waypoint other than the next one or the destination.
and since you can download the track and compare with PLOG afterwards, I am at a bit of a loss as to what REAL functionality re navigation in the cockpit this would really add.
Being able to download the track afterwards is irrelevant if you've got an ATC unit asking you for an ETA to a particular waypoint... I though I'd already given a pretty good explanation as to why I think it would be useful...
Yes it might be interesting but for my money there are other development priorities for Tim and his team (faster maps, no out of memory crashes, export routes to PNDs, Garmins etc from SkyDemonWeb .. to name a few).
We'll have to agree to disagree on this one then:-
Faster maps: it's plenty fast enough on my device
Crashes: mine has never crashed once
Export to PND from Web: going to be very difficult if not impossible without some kind of additional software as for quite obvious reasons, software running in the browser cannot (indeed should not) access your local filesystem.
SkyDemonWeb, as great as it is, isn't the product I committed to and paid for. I'd argue the opposite - which is that SkyDemonWeb shouldn't slow down the continuing development of the mobile and desktop version.
I'm not saying that either of us is right or wrong, just that different people have different expectations and needs and that there's no point posting on the suggestions thread stating that you think your requirements are more important than someone else's. That's up to the SkyDemon team to decide.
