Im amazed by Skydemon and all the features built in this product, and here are two minor issues that would make it even better.
1- SDs position reporting (dynamic field on top of the screen) seems to be relative to the nearest reporting point (VRP) or nearest geographical name. In the sparsely populated areas this can sometimes be quite a distance away from the current position, hence it would be better if there were more geographical names in the database, and that user could decide the level of details that should be visible (decluttering setting).
2- Names on large lakes and mountains are written on the background map with small letters and a pale color that can be hard to read during flight. The letters are larger during manual zoom, but revert to the small size afterwards. These letters are not affected by the "letter size" setting that affects geographical names etc.

Welcome Chris. The things we refer to as "geographical names" are atlas-like names for lakes, regions and other very locale-specific things. I believe it would cause us many problems if we included them in the selection of things for use in the position report at the top of the screen; not least because they are often long lines and not a single point. Really, ATC should only ever ask your position relative to a known VRP or other designated five-letter code. Are you aware you can turn on the designators with five-letter codes, commonly used for airways reporting?
