The SkyDemon plate for airfields does indeed contain "all our data in one place"; they are excellent.  So good that I wonder if they could be accessed a little more quickly?  When I right-click on an airfield, one of the context menu options is "information". Click that and stuff appears in the box bottom right.  Scroll down that and eventually at the bottom is the link to the plate I want.

No shortcut, you're quite right. You mention right-clicking so presumably this is a PC environment you're trying with? The user interface for What's Here is a bit different between PC and mobile versions.

Yes - I'm mainly talking when planning on my PC the night before, which is when I'm scanning for places to go, so right click.  It's less noticeable on mobile devices because the airfield tab is bigger than the bottom right info box, so the link to the plate appears without scrolling.  So long as you're not in landscape mode.  But, of course, I've just noticed I can resize the bottom right info box...

Hmm, ok thanks, we will bear that in mind. Most of the stuff on the SkyDemon Plate is a repeat of what's in the Approach Information and Admin Information sections which are higher up. Does that help at all, or was it the map you were after anyway?

Well I personally want runway length and availability of avgas (as a proxy for "GA friendly") when looking for potential stopping points on a route.  "Camping available" would also be helpful, but that's not an existing field.  The map's good too.  But others will want different things.  So "all our information in one place" sounds like the go-to place, surely?  And the fewer clicks to get there the better.

Thanks for explaining.
