How to best find "nearest" navaids or waypoints

I have a hard time finding nearby navaids (VOR, NDB, etc) or important waypoints such as airports, etc. in SkyDemon. Many nav systems have a "nearest" function, a list of items by distance from a position. I would expect SkyDemon has a similar feature, but I cannot seem to find it. Any advice?

Thanks,

Thanks for explaining a bit more about your predicament. We don't get a lot of demand for radio navaid-based functionality, being a GPS app, but I absolutely understand the requirement. I wonder if it would make sense to add the nearest VORs to the Radio tab? We would probably only add them if they were turned on on the map, though. What do the people reading this thread think?

Terrence, is this an IFR situation you're in?

This is for VFR. I think the above solutions (list of near navaids in pilot log, or in search function but scroll further down) are fine for my needs.

Thanks,
