Planning a flight to Isle of man and the NOTAMs which show up on pc and on Galaxy s6 (version 3.8.1.18190) over the Isle of man (correctly) displays somewhere over Ireland on the tablet!?

A‌ndroid Galaxy tab A. SD version 3.8.1.18190.

Please note that NOTAM coordinates in the Q line are given with reduced precision; they can only have degrees and minutes (no seconds) and a whole integer number as their radius. That is the NOTAM format.

So although the text in the E‌‌ line may give a slightly more precise centrepoint and volume, the Q line is the only thing SkyDemon can automatically display as it's the only machine-readable part of the NOTAM. This is just the way the NOTAM system works.‌‌ It is always safe, as the Q line data will always fully contain any slightly more precise descriptive text in the E line.
