Having played with this beta for an hour or so, my first impressions are that the mapping engine is a nice improvement. I have found a couple of points for discussion.

I've had a bit of a play with it now, My device has had a couple of crashes but not sure what I was doing at the time, but it went back to the menu, I'll try and reproduce it later.

I would also like the swipe up and down brought back.

I agree that the buttons at the end of the runways on approach are a bit too big

I used custom data and created a couple of VRPs but they will not transfer when syncing and don't appear in the custom data folder. I already had a couple of VRPs saved from the previous version and although they are in the custom data folder and show up in SD plan, they won't transfer to the device either.

I created a couple of waypoints and they transfer OK.

I won't be flying again for a week or so, but I'm driving about 75 miles later today so I will try it out a bit more in the car.

Some good improvements, just a bit more fine tuning
