Tim, Thanks for the latest version (.9.13)

My observations before the big decision "To Buy or Not to Buy":
Running on a Navigo 4.3" PNA (Win CE 5.0), if connected to the PC (via Activesync), SkyDemon Inflight starts up without the Map showing.
Only happened on versions .9.12 & .9.13. Disconnecting & restarting the Navigo allows SkyDemon Inflight to function normally.
The "Map Font Size" option has no effect on the Navigo. Could it be looking for a font we don't have?

Will there be further updating of the the Map?
In the south (Shoreham in particular), we are suffering a discrepancy with the UK Map & Roads & Railways overlay.
Everything seems to be up to 1/2 mile out. Are they a different "projection" to the Aviation Database ? (which is spot on).
Obvious points of reference are:
The VRPs at "Washington Intersection" & "Lewis Intersection", neither corresponding road is under the VRP. (The VRP is correct)
The Railway does not run through the runways at Shoreham. (& certainly not North of the NDB)
Only small points, I know but they just detract from an otherwise excellent piece of software.


Hope I don't sound too "nitpicking"Wink, and on an upbeat note, the new SkyDemon icon looks good on the Navigo Menu.

Regards,

Max.

P.S. Still can't get the line spacing right?w00t

Tim, Thanks for the info on the Road, Rail & Coastline discrepancies.

Regarding font size, yes the instruments font size changes when "showing" or "not" & the device cerainly has Tahoma.ttf built in. It's not an issue for me as I've been to Specsavers (& am still waiting to meet the person who got the second pair "free"Tongue). But I can confirm that another Navigo user also gets no change in "Map Font Size".

Regards,

Max.
