Not used for a long time due to lack of decent hardware so a bit rusty. Hope I'm not missing something obvious.



1: When I try and print enroute charts, why is the background/whole page blue instead of white? (in print preview). Assume its going to therefore print like that and use enormous amount of ink.



2: When I open a route, why is the date 3 months old from when I last used it? Why not automatically show the current date, which is more than likely the day when I am going flying? (unlikely to be a previous date)



3: Why is it such a tiny and fiddly box to change the date and time (it is on my screen resolution) , surely this can be improved?



4: Why would you need to save the plan on exit just because you have changed the date and nothing else?

Thanks Guys

Did not realise you could get different windows at the bottom, thought that was just for VNAV.

Pleased the blue print is a bug and not me doing something silly.

Using SkyDemon for planning only. Garmin car GPS in flight, not ideal but only type sunlight readable.

Anything new in pipeline? Desperate for a decent GPS next year, 5" OK. Tried 3 x Chinese and 1 x Navsgo but no good.
