Hi,
Is there any chance to track (append/insert) a Gafor route during flight planning?
On PC, hovering over the Gafor Route just gives weather information, same for long tap on Route on Android.
A Nice feature would be : Long tap on Gafor Route -> Tap on Route (e.b. GAFOR ROUTE LO60 : Difficult -> append to route) or:
Drag Magenta Line onto Gafor Route -> Snap to Route / Popup -> insert GAFOR Route.
That way you dont have to insert dozens of Wypoints if youwant to flya along that route, esp. when its a zig-zag like course.
Thanks in advance for any advices!

It isn't a feature we offer at the moment, and it's not clear how it would work, e.g. how do you tell SkyDemon where you wish to leave the route? Also it would invalidate fuel and distance calculations because we couldn't be sure exactly how you'd fly the route.

Nevertheless we will note the request as we do get people asking for this, from time to time. I think there's another recent thread about it.


I Am not sure what the current status is but I would also like this feature as it sometimes already work if you add the GAFOR route to the route section when creating a new route.
