We do intend to have better support for VRP identifiers in future, but we have no control over the soft keyboard on the Mobile MD so that may still be a barrier to searching by identifier.

Nice to ear this... I like your software and I see a lot of potential.
I think the problem could be bypassed simply by rendering searchable the codename and by typing it without special characters like '-'... so PO-E1 should be POE1

Can anybody else replicate the described problem with being unable to find an airways reporting point on a Mobile MD, when typing its full name into the Go To Waypoint window and first ensuring its chart is loaded?

I checked in the chart setting of the MD and for Italy is noted "Auto Loaded" so, assuming that I fly above all in Italy the chart is loaded (otherwise how can I see the map?!?)

For IRP, once typed all the name I have a black screen, no finds at all. In my opinion there is a bug or something Ermm (in the Mobile Device)

For the VRP the problem is with the code name: last sunday Verona app told me to report PO-E1... wow!... if I didn't know that was "Lonato" VRP and I tried to find via this function I would never have found.
I should have to find it exploring the map, bringing my attention away from flying for too long.
Here in Italy, there is a process to change all the VRP names (above all if they are gates to CTRs) with this sort of code to make them much more understandable for foreign people than the local names.

So, in my opinion they should be searchable (in the Mobile Device) even by typing their codename.

But, and there is always a "but"... If I can't write the symbols back the numebers of the qwerty key (with shif selected) I'll never find them anyway, cause I can't write the '-' between PO and E1

I just ran a test and could find the Spino VRP by typing the first few characters, e.g. "spin".

Airways reporting points are slightly different, you must type the whole name.

Sorry, the soft keyboard on a Mobile MD does not support many special characters.

Yes! The chart is Italy, so it's loaded. Sad

For the VRP the function go to waypoint finds them, but only if I type the entire name (Spino d'Adda) and not the code (Ml-E1). This doesn't happen with the PC version. It finds the VRP in both cases.

Is the chart containing DORIN actually loaded? SkyDemon Mobile only loads charts when you are within their boundaries (or close by) as the devices do not have very much memory.

mmm... no...
while I'm typing the name (ex. DORIN) it starts giving results, but once finished it gives me a black screen.

I'm speaking about the Mobile Device.

Ah..another things... I tried with VRP (ex. MI-E1 Spino d'adda) and while typing I used the shift button to get the - on the querty keyboard but it type the number 8 (as no shift selected). It does this for all symbols with shift selected.

Go To Waypoint should certainly find VRPs and IRPs.
