Hi there,
I think Synthetic Vision would be a great idea for SkyDemon. I know some pilots won't want such a feature but it's the natural evolution of the product and probably, necessary to maintain market share against Garmin / ForeFlight. Having flown with FF in the US, I much prefer SD and think it's important for us to have a 'local' app developer for our aviation needs. I think we need this sooner rather than later to stop people trying it out on other products.
SD has far superior visuals across the board so SV would be an opportunity to really win some room ahead of the competition.

Well, I can definitely say that it will increase by leaps and bounds your situational awareness.
Personally, I wouldn't fly at all, especially in the U.S., without Foreflight and Stratux, because they reduce your workload tremendously thus leaving you more time to deal with the other stuff.
Nobody is asking for a Honeywell-like or Garmin level of complexity, but I think everyone will agree that reading-off a 3D picture is waaay more easier for human brain.
