Dear Sky Demon team,

I have recently become aware of the Sky Demon products and am new to this forum.  I have read through the information on the website and looked back over many of the forum posts.

I’m looking for a portable aviation GPS and I must say, from what I have seen on the website, the clarity of presentation and the functionality of the Sky Demon products are impressive.

I have a few questions for which I would be grateful for your clarification.  Apologies if these are explained in any previous forum posts that I might not have read.

1.       Virtual Radar (excellent idea)
– is it possible to toggle virtual radar on and off the screen display during flight?

2.       Active flight plan page
- is there a screen/page available where you can see a table listing all the waypoints of the currently active flight plan, with ETA at the next waypoint and forward ETAs at all the following waypoints, including destination?
(I have seen that you can tap on the screen on a point forward of your current position and Sky Demon will display time/distance to that point.  This is a great feature but I also think that a table, as described above, is helpful in monitoring your flight progress and also giving ATC any requested forward ETAs.)

3.       VNAV
Does Sky Demon have the functionality to define a cruise climb/descent?  For example: “descend at 300fpm to 2000ft AMSL/AGL by 3nm before WaypointX” and then give alerts before starting climb/descent and before reaching the target altitude/height.

4.       HSI
I see on the website that version 2.1 will include an HSI view.  Excellent enhancement.  As I read it, this will give vertical guidance along a glideslope when on approach to a runway.  Will it also be possible to use the HSI view for vertical guidance during other flight phases? eg. climb/descent as mentioned in 3. above (VNAV).

5.       Is there a larger screen Sky demon mobile GPS in the pipeline?  If so can you please give any details.

6.       I am in Switzerland:
- is there any way to download a portion of the Swiss chart to get an idea of its content and resolution?
- Switzerland is a small country.  I may make flights into neighbouring countries such as Germany, France, Italy, Austria – even to UK.
How many country charts can be loaded into the Sky Demon mobile GPS at once?
(For a flight to UK at least 3 charts would be required – Switzerland, France, UK.)

Thank you and regards,

Mark

There are two options of buying the excellent SkyDemon product.

1. Just buy the software licence, which activates the 30 day trial software into the fully operational version and then you can transfer it to a compatible device,

or

2. Buy the Skydemon mobile device with software preloaded which also  comes with a licence to activate the trial software.

In either case all your updates whether software or charts are included in the price. There is no restriction to how many charts you can use. The annual subscription is so that you can continue to recieve updates after the first 12 months have expired.
