We've never been interested in integrating other people's paper charts into SkyDemon. Like you say, there are many products that do offer that.

If there is a specific aeronautical entity on a paper chart that you believe should be included in SkyDemon charts, do feel free to suggest it here.

I get it. The SD map is beautiful and it would change the experience. Why I'm saying this, is that depending where one decides to fly in France, it is not possible to fly only with SD and the paper map has to be ready somewhere for cross check. Some other apps propose the official French ICAO map so that a cross check is possible during planning or during the flight. Anyway, it's a small thing and I'm happy to fly with the paper map next to me as SD brings so much more than ICAO map. 

Another thing that would be actually even better is to be able to link the Restricted and Prohibited airspaces on the map (in France again) with their definitions and details in the document 5.1 (section "enroute" in the Civil AIP database). Sometimes, we need more details and we have to manually look and search in the document for radio frequencies and the activation date and times. You already do it superbly with the SUP-AIP with temporary TRA.

One may prefer one chart style or the other, I am quite happy with Skydemon Ground Cover.

One information missing on SD charts and that is available exclusively on the France OACI 1/500 000 chart is the minimum overflight height as France is differing from ICAO and SERA.

This has already been brought to the attention of Skydemon (http://forums.skydemon.aero/Topic37060.aspx#37062), unfortunately there is no possibilty to add this information to the SD charts.
