Not convinced of it's implementation on the PC version. How is this better than the previous small box, black on white, same font??

I believe the requested highlight is shown for ten seconds, which should be plenty of time to hide the What's Here screen and pan around the map. The idea is that the highlight makes it clear exactly which piece of airspace is being referred to in the What's Here screen.
Claus, the airspace stack is only shown if there is sufficient room to do so. Typically on phones, there isn't enough room for it.

I cannot see the nice airspace stack - Android , Skydemon 3.8.0.18997
Do I have to switch on somewhere?
Thank you for advise!

+xIs there a reason why once you have displayed the airspace boundaries, you cannot simply dismiss the What's Here screen so you can scroll the map as you like? The fact is that the (via WH) selected highlighted boundary is overlapped by the WH screen, therefor preventing to check the boundary as requested (except for the parts extending beyond the WH screen). The highlight will vanish in a few seconds and you have to start again. Simply dismissing is not the issue...

Since there is more information available with only one tap, the 'Whats here' block is also grown in size. Therefor overlapping the chart behind, Normally no problem, but when you want to check the contours of an airspace you have to do this via the Whats here function and so the airspace to be checked is overlapped by the WH block.
I suggest to make the WH block moveable after the first show-up, or to make it by some degree transparent.

+xYes, it is bad. That's exactly how we would do it (and how we do it for PLOG frequency inclusion) and it was bad, so we didn't include LARS in What's Here. Mike, there isn't a one-to-one mapping of listening squawks to airfields. It's a mess. Fair enough.

+x+xUK listening squawks suffer from the same problem as UK LARS services: they are a complete mess, with many overlapping and no clear sector boundaries. They really aren't suitable for inclusion on a map at the moment (or in What's Here). I note what you say Tim. However, my understanding is that each Listening Squawk and its associated Listening Frequency is unique to the airfield to which it is assigned, so if I bring up the What's Here pop-up for any airfield, if that airfield has been assigned a Listening Squawk/Frequency, then I would expect to see it listed. I would agree with that but say it should not just be the airport but rather the airspace associated with the ATSU. So if I click on Bristol Airspace I'd expect the see the Bristol Listening Squawk. I'd go a step further actually and argue that LARS doesn't have to be that complication either. Each unit has a declared position and range in the AIP and the Farnborough sectors are declared with coordinates. So you could draw in an invisible "airspace" for each unit and have the associated LARS frequency. OK so there will be locations where get multiple frequencies pop up which will be worse on a weekday and you'd have to choose but would that be so bad? You could even imagine a feature where SD could sort the list based on range from unit and direction of travel.
