May I ask when flying using Skydemon is there a way to quickly drop a pin or waypoint marker over an interesting spot that you are flying over?
Similar to the MOB function (man over board) on other GPS products.
Eg. Quickly marking a spot that you may like to return to.

Thank you
Tony

Press and hold anywhere on the chart (where there isn't already a waypoint) and you can create a user waypoint at that position.

The "problem" you cannot decide the size of the waypoint. Eg. if you want have a big mark to see it very clearly or rather a small one ...

You could create for example 3 red flags (waypoints) around your point so it is easily visible on your Skydemon chart.
You could choose your own icon and number of icons to suit. Also you could add a waypoint in the middle to navigate to or include in your Nav.

     Is it also possible to paint on the chart?

     The answer is probably no, but I must ask... paint what?

             To mark certain points in preflight planning.
