Weather Stations Window

I think I'm about to become another fan of SkyDemon. I spent a happy afternoon yesterday downloading the trial version and going through the instructions, and it looks very impressive. So much so that I'm thinking of going down the cheapo Chinese GPS route to back up my Garmin Aera.



I have a question about the Weather Stations window and the "Add Airfield" function. It works perfectly, but I'm disappointed to see that any airfields I add don't seem to be saved when I close SD; the window reverts to the default list when I reopen SD.



Or am I doing something wrong?



Thanks for any tips..

I would rather not have the weather window in SD Mobile being "cluttered" with info that is separate from the chosen route.

For local weather, I do not use SD for a general overview of local or regional weather; my SD Mobile device does not have web access and its a sledghammer to crack a nut to have to go to PC, load SD and download weather for a "local or regional" route.

Much easier to use something on my phone, TV wetaher channel, ipad or something thats "always on and to hand".

Then when I have decided where to fly, I plan a route in SD when of course having the TAFs and METARS with me in flight is extremely useful.

So re the subject of this thread, my vote is NOT to add additional data to the weather window.
