m Group: Forum Members Posts: 11, Visits: 2	Hi Again ‌ ‌In Navigation Options I can choose Aircraft Trajectory Display as "Time Ahead" or "Distance Ahead". Unfortunaly the graphic representation of the two options is identical, so I can't see from the map display which option is currently active. My suggestion is a minor change of the display of Aircraft Trajectory Display, so I easily can see which option is used by only looking at the trajectory display since I might switch between the two options. I'm not sure how to make this difference, but a possible solution might be a little cl‌ock in the end of the "Time Ahead" trajectory display? Maybe an option to show both Time Ahead and Distance Ahead at the same time could be useful, but regarding this I have no clue on how to represent this in a SkyDemon way without making the display too complex.‌‌ SkyDemon for iPad version 3.9.4.118‌‌

I already was thinking I suffered of Alzheimer's disease‌
