I have a hard time finding nearby navaids (VOR, NDB, etc) or important waypoints such as airports, etc. in SkyDemon. Many nav systems have a "nearest" function, a list of items by distance from a position. I would expect SkyDemon has a similar feature, but I cannot seem to find it. Any advice?

Thanks,

Hi,

For example, if you need to determine position via nearby VORs or intersect/navigate a VOR when you are given the name but not the identifier. E.g. "radial 120 Karsruhe VOR" ... unless you know that's KRH, how are you going to find it?


It might help to know that if you enter the full (or even partial) name of the Navaid rather than its Ident in the search bar when in Flight mode, it will display it in at or close to the top of the results list. You can then select it with a touch, and track a radial as one of the options.

Ah, thanks - I need to type in at least two letters, but then if I scroll down a bit I see the VOR. Great!
