Swiss Official ICAO Chart Overlay

In Switzerland, ATC and other pilots, strongly prefer to only ever use names of places that are listed on the official ICAO chart.

SkyDemon has a couple of issues:

1) There are places listed in SkyDemon that are not on the ICAO chart.
2) There are places on the ICAO chart _not_ listed on SkyDemon.

The first is a larger problem, since a pilot may be tempted to report their position using a name not listed on the ICAO chart, and the ATC or other pilots in the area would have no idea.

What kinds of workarounds are available to alleviate this issue?

In SkyDemon they're referred to as Airways Reporting Points, but that encompasses all five-letter designated points defined in ENR 4.4.

We do not have plans to include paper charts in SkyDemon. They are static and out of date for most of the year.
