Hi,
I would like to purchase Skydemon, but there is one thing that is holding me off. I tested Jeppesen Mobile Flitedeck, Garmin Pilot and Air Navigatioin Pro and Skydemon intensely. I like Skydemon with all it´s features the best. But the only thing that is missing and is for me absolute essential and that it is the bearing indicator. I don´t mean just showing it on the map or the HSI, I meant showing it in the upper row next to the distance to a waypoint in numbers of degree.
I don´t know one GPS application ever since I am flying, that doesn´t have this feature. And the is a reason for it. Because it is one of the basics, that every GPS must have.
For example when I am flying and I am off course to my next waypoint, I look on the GPS and read the bearing, put my heading bug on the course and fly to the waypoint. Or even when I am on course, I read the bearing sometimes just to check my compass.
I know that this was discussed before but and I understand, that you can´t fulfill every single whish of just one user. But please think about it again, it would make your program just perfect. Skydemon does not have to fear, by adding a feature, that all the other programs have, not to be any different any more. I am sure that by how far Skydemon came by now, other programs try to copy it, because it is so good.
Happy Landings an greetings from Bavaria ( www.edmy.de )

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but something occurred to me as I read through it. Just a little idea.
If one deviates significantly (whatever that might be) from the route, wouldn't it be nice if a rubber band similar to the normal route legs popped up between the aircraft and the next waypoint? A dynamic track to next point, if you will. Give it a different colour, but maybe let it keep the 'click for distance and direction' property.
What do you think?
