Navigation improvement suggestions

I've been using skydemon for a couple of months in several flights (I fly a microlight aircraft).
I'd like to suggest some improvements during navigation :

1) I'd like to see the ETA of the end of the route as an instrument. I can only see the ETA of the next waypoint rn.
When I plan a route, I use waypoints to avoid specific zones or to set some points of interest, but the ETA to this points doesn't mean much for me. However, the ETA to the end is important for fuel estimations, or to inform other people when are you arriving.

2) I'd like to see in what type of airspace I am flying, maybe as an instrument (big letter A,D,G,...)
The app warns me when I am entering or leaving an airspace, but it's not easy to see in what type of airspace I am in (and hopefully the upper and lower levels).

Congrats for such a good app!

We won't be adding a new instrument just to display what class of airspace you're currently in, when (as others have said) the Virtual Radar ought to make this very clear.
