I take you have right clicked the Holmbeck icon in skydemon and click 'view in google to confirm where it is?
I've never been there but if Holmbeck is the grass strip with runway 29/11 it is south East of where SD show it.
On google it's referenced as 51.910298,-0.729852 but I'm not positive I'm looking at the right airield

I've used SkyDemon for the last couple of weeks
I'm based at Holmbeck
SD always shows the land-away airfields accurately, sufficient to correctly spot when I don't land on the centre-line
however each time I take off or land at Holmbeck it shows me 1/2 a mile from the airstrip
now I know my landing aren't great, but I suspect the airfield may have moved from under me
so a couple of questions
a) where can I see the actual lat/long that SD has for my home strip on iPad version (it's shown on PC version)
b) where can I adjust it?
c) do I just report it as a database update required?
d) can I see lat/long for my current location?
e) can I see the lat/long for where the mouse is (PC version only)
thanks
PS bit more information
Holmbeck website shows N 51 54.6 W 000 43.7
SD shows N 51 55 00 W 000 44 10
