Hello
I would like an option to easy be able to switch the map to satellite image.For example. in VFR darkness,
if you have to make an emergency landing, you have the opportunity to find a suitable landing surface. If I bring up a satellite view today, I don't have my position with the airplane icon.
Today I use Google maps in the background but it would be better to be able to switch in Skydemon

Do you really think that in an emergency situation you'll have time and capacity to be searching aerial photography for suitable fields, even if a good internet connection is available?

This is the reason why we do not currently emphasize aerial photography in navigation mode, or indeed include an aircraft overlay on it.

it gives a much better overview than what I see when I look out. then it's just black
