The VRPs RINKEBY and KUNGSHATT for ESSB are missing from the Skydemon database. They are important as they are waypoints on standard VFR ARR/DEP routes. (Ref. AIP-SWEDEN AD 2 ESSB 6-3 and 6-4).

Downloadable plates for ENGM doesn't include AIP-NORWAY AD 2 ENGM 6-3 which is the VAC for ENGM. Also the VRP NITTEDAL for ENGM which appears on Skydemon's chart appears to have been withdrawn.

They are not actually reporting points, but they are waypoints on the VFR routes (ref. AIP SWEDEN AD 2 ESSB 6-3/4).

If you e.g. enter Bromma CTR at ÄLVNÄS for landing RWY 30, you usually get an initial clearance to BJÖRNHOLMEN. A direct track would take you through restricted area ES R 24. You should route via KUNGSHATT. The same goes for departures RWY 12, exiting the CTR at ÄLVNÄS.

But ok, if you don't have "official" coordinates from the AIP, I can see why you might be reluctant to put them in the Skydemon database. It is certainly not a big deal for me to enter them as user waypoints.
