Does Skydemon mobile (MD or otherwise) provide an OBS hold feature, a la Garmin Aera/196?



My trust Lowrance Airmap 1000 has died (and anyway the database updates have dried up) so I am hoping Father Christmas will oblige with a new GPS. I need to know what to put on my list... and the Skydemon looks great (I've downloaded the demo version). But I use the Lowrance to 'monitor' NDB approaches setting the active waypoint to the NDB and the OBS to the outbound/inbound track (great for holds, too as it makes every NDB basically a VOR/DME...)



I can't find a way to do this. If it's not there, can it be added, please..?

I was taught to use Obs hold for creating a run in line to a DZ waypoint when para dropping. Makes life really easy and a "must have" for me even though a VFR activity. Good tip re the NDB too! Otherwise Skydemon looks really good for my impending GPS replacement; I already use the "light" version for UK VFR planning.

Actually a very nice idea. My motto is: Good for IFR=Good for VFR.
IFR is simply the GUI of VFR.

PS: GUI= Graphic User Interface (For those who need help only!)

Very Newbytheway
