Hi
When getting the red warning: Restricted Area EDRnnn …. - and tapping on the? mark, sometime is say Active: By NOTAM. 
Since there is a direct reference id to the NOTAM - then it would be great if the Notam text pops up when tapping the ? mark. Or maybe by tapping text: Active By NOTAM.
Regards Martin

It shouldn't be a surprise that you are shown a warning when flying towards a danger/restricted area with SkyDemon; such warnings are a feature of the software. It is difficult to positively determine that such an area is not activated, because NOTAMs are fairly often not properly formatted. We did try this, but we found too many instances where there was a NOTAM activating a piece of airspace but we couldn't programmatically determine that from its contents.

Perhaps we should re-visit the topic and see if we could enable it per-country, depending on whether that country appears to be good at formatting its NOTAMs.
