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.

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!

I would also like to propose a Single use or One off Pop Up.
 
That is a user created Message / Alert / Comment or Reminder

This could be accessed within the current Skydemon Timers creation section.

Eg. at ???mins a one time Pop up displays that has to be user cancelled. Not Transient or Persistent.

I have no particular horse in this race, I'm just curious when people suggest something like this, how exactly they imagine it working when of course routes can (and do) change, sometimes in flight, which would affect whether (and when) such a popup was displayed. It's still not something that is requested very often.

I had envisaged the note would float with the route but appreciate that could be problematic to implement in which case your idea of distance in route (or from prior waypoint?) could satisfy and user would have to be aware of consequence should route subsequently be changed.

So a note attached to a location would continue to float there even if the route was dragged away from there?

I was thinking the note would be geotagged so nothing would happen to it if route changed

Interesting, so you'd attach a note which would presumably be recorded against a certain distance along your route. I can see how that would work. What would happen to the notes when the user changed the route by making it longer or shorter before the note?

Tim- you had asked for thoughts on how this might work and I've been considering along with the issues you had highlighted. How about:
1) ability to create a comment in route via touching/'what's here/create route comment. I'm thinking along the lines of how you would create a waypoint but the difference being the comment would be attached to the route at that location rather than the map.
2) when flying, the presence of a comment would show up with a symbol and touching/'what's here would allow viewing
Hopefully, this would take away the questions you had about proximity etc?
Thanks for consideration

Thought worthwhile to flag this up again. There have been many subsequent requests along similar lines; lots of likes so believe there is real support for this. Workarounds by using waypoints don't really cut it. Thanks
