Hello
Is there a way to add the frequency 134.680 (Bale Info tape) to the map and label TMA LFSB T1 HX, TMA LFSB T2 HX and TMA LFSB T3 HX?
With the current view, all sectors are labeled as TMA Basle, but some of them are HX and it would be very helpfull to know which one is which because they are not all active at the same time.
It's normal practice to listen to the tape on 134.680 to know if they are active or not and then ask for clearance on 130.900 if they are.
The frequency 134.680 is missing in SD when clicking on the TMA T1 HX or TMA T3 HX.

That's one thing I appreciate in SD is that the maps are included, so when I go near the edge of a country, I make sure to have all nearby maps installed.  Besides inconveniencing a few electrons, it doesn't cost anything (assuming you have the space in your device).  Flying in a small (and beautiful!) country like CH we're always next to a border, and could need to divert or at least be aware of what's happening nearby.

Pascal, are you not installing France maps due to space limitations on your device?  Just curious.

i tend to install countries as soon as plan to fly into their airspace.. but this was a brand new tablet in a new (to me) airplane and that was my very first flight with it, so i had only installed switzerland yet sice i had no intention to cross the border yet.. installing more maps means waiting longer for updates.. (allthough, that has been massively improved a few years back) .. so yes, it is not such a big hassle to install all neighbouring countries as well but at least the user should be warned, that one always needs to install the neighboring countries to make sure all the relevant airspace is visible.. sky demon focuses so much on usability that i can't imagine that they would not want to fix this properly.. 

cheers
