somehow skydemon shows mainly names of very small towns but does not show names of larger towns. is there a setting i have messed up that can fix that?

here is an exmaple.. look at the town "Turbenthal" which is a quite small town, and compare it to "Neubrunn" which is basically a collection of about 20 houses. I would expect SkyDemon to show me the name of Turbenthal rather than Neubrunn, but it does the opposit. When i make a call to a local airfield and i tell them i am overhead Neubrunn nobody knows where i'm at, but when i tell them i am overhead turbenthal, people understand. This is true both in flight planning mode and in navigation in flight. any idea what i did wrong?

here is a comparison of the skydemon screenshot (zoomed all the way in to show these two towns with maximum detail) compared to a map that depicts every building in the town as a black rectangle.



Skydemon knows Turbenthal, i pops up as a result when i search for the name and its area is shown on the map. Pleasae help me in getting my settings right. 

EDIT: when i switch off "Urban Areas" in the surface features settings, Turbenthal is completely hidden, it doesn't even get a yellow dot.

EDIT2: this is with skydemon 3.6.2 on a google nexus 6p

We haven't changed anything about how VRPs are selected for inclusion in the position report. If you're unhappy with it, it might be worth starting another thread as this one is very much focussed on town inclusion.
