I am using a £65 Chinese satnav with Win CE6 and iGO8 on. With a 8G chip it loaded first time and can also run MemoryMap.



However I loaded the Beta version today and have lost the portrait view when rotate screen is actioned. The screen does rotate but I get landscape on half the screen only.



Is there a fix or should I revert to version 2.2.0

Thanks for the latest beta version, as usual, some great additions. I haven't had much of a look at 'plan' but I did notice (and I hope this is new because I dont remember seeing them before) that the VOR's are now very prominent which I like.

On to SD mobile.

Not flown yet, but have had a play with it.
 Journey log and chart orientation changes are great, there is one strange thing that happens in 'course up' mode though (very minor) and it is the same on 2 devices,  I'm currently in Conwy and with a route set, there is a faint white line on the chart running from Deganwy through to Port Talbot, it's not a problem just peculiar.
Map feature, another great addition, but all other views apart from sky demon view are initially slow to draw and when scrolling accross the screen, there are blocks of chequered background visible, it does sort itself out though given time.

Excellent work, thanks again for releasing it

Thanks for releasing this guys - several of the items on my wish-list have been ticked off and seem good, although the real test will come when I fly with it (hopefully tomorrow). I especially like the weather triangles in Plan and the FAA-style chart being available on the GPS.



I did have some trouble installing 2.2.1(Beta) - as well as uninstalling SkyDemon from the control panel, I had to remove the SkyDemon folder in the USER directory, start SkyDemon once (got a "demo version expired" message) and then copy back the licence file, routes, logs etc. The first time I tried it (before removing the user directory) I just got the map appearing with a dialogue saying "SkyDemon.exe has stopped working. OK?"



Thanks again, and I'll try to send more feedback after flying tomorrow.

I have managed to track down what caused the problem - the userwaypoints.xml had somehow become corrupted. I can't determine whether this was a result of installing the beta version or not, however.



Cheers,



Mike.
