This feature is being addressed in the forthcoming version of SkyDemon.

As it currently works (in prototype) you can attach a reminder to any turning point in your route. That reminder is then displayed just before you reach the turning point, in the same way that timer reminders are displayed in the current release. They stay onscreen until dismissed explicitly by the user. The reminders are also shown in the PLOG, in their own row between the legs.

The feature is working well, but at present there is no way of telling SkyDemon how far in advance of reaching the turning point you wish the reminder to be shown. Options are:

1. We show the reminder a set time before you reach the turning point, currently hard coded to 60 seconds
2. We show the reminder only when you actually get to the turning point
3. We allow you to choose how many minutes in advance to show the reminder (from 0 to 10 probably).

Feedback welcome!

That’s great news Tim, thanks.

Are you thinking the parameter for option 3 would be overall (ie would apply to every such turning point) or specified for each turning point?

If the latter, then option 3 provides for all eventualities. If the former then I would suggest option 2 (can as required set up a dummy point just to flag) as quite possible within a route wanting to specify more than one with differing notice periods.

Sorry, I should have specified. I had envisaged you would set the "advance notice" in the same place you set the reminder, so it would be per turning point.

I personally like option #3 as it gives enough (and flexible) time to adapt to the notification (I'd use it primarily as a reminder of the next frequency and/or TMZ code, as they are quite complex around Milan and northern Italy). I know this information is available in the Radio tab, but the advantage of not having to look it up in flight, maybe when flying in the mountains, is invaluable IMHO.
Thanks (as always) for listening to your users, Tim. One more reason to like SD.
