Tim,

I love the new VNAV feature although I will have to wait for the WinCE (or Android BigGrin) version to test this out in flight.

The magenta course line overlays names of waypoints and navaids - not sure if ths is new behaviour but look at the attached screenshot and the 'WCO' NDB and 'Farmoor Reservoir' VRP names are obliterated by the magenta line.

Requests (already made I know but just re-iterating my wishlist)

1) I still miss the mapping options toolbar in Plan (see other topic)

2) I would still like to see the tiny wind barb in the skydemon Mobile instruments rotate when in "Course Up" or "Track Up" modes in flight to reflect the relative wind direction - it looks like it's always drawn "North Up" irrespective of which way the map is up. This would allow me to quickly visualise relative wind direction and strength (e.g. for a Xwind landing)

Great software.

Simon

Re: PLOG

The RNav vectors shown in the PLOG give radials to the nearest tenth of a degree. This seems a bit OTT for VFR flying and wastes space, angles to the nearest degree would probably suffice. Please also list the frequencies of any navaids referenced in RNav vectors (if this is not already the case).

When NDBs are used as waypoints the NDB frequency should be in the NavAid list as well (this is not currently the case)
