Even when we have access to a Garmin 430 or better the added situational awareness that Sky Demon gives is worth its weight in gold.! It must be me but I do not see these plates. Should these be purchased ? Or activated in a way or another in settings ? Thanks in advance. ‌‌‌‌ Have you updated SD? You also Need to update your maps! and download the plates separately All is up-to-date (charts installed 01 feb 2018). For downloading I do no see any reference to Instrument charts. Eg for EGMC I have following geo plates: control zone & control area, aerodrome. Ok Found it... in airfields - Settings - Toggle Instrument approach and/or instrument arrival/departure charts.... Strange I have gone through the manual but seems it is not mentionned there or I missed it.

Should still be able to zoom/pan though. Ideally, charts should be grouped “Arrival”, “Approach (by runway)”, “Departure” and “Airfield” with a special tab for quick/easy switching. SD goes IFR, clearly the best piece of news for the new season...

I agree, that they should only shown on demand, because there are so many of them. Actually I only found them via the search function of SD. Will they also available when I create a new route? If I add a waypoint like DW403 (in EDDW) inside the route dialog, the waypoint is unknown. ‌ ‌‌ ‌
