E.g. in the mountains over another pass. How to change to the other route in flight? What is the best method please ? I didn't find any instruction and didn't want to try it out in flight. Any suggeestions ?

Unless you have a rock solid internet connection while airborne the route will have to have been saved locally on the device. Top tip: You can try out lots of things, or explore the features, safely by using 'Simulation' mode.

I intended to fly from LOAZ (Zell am See) via Hochtor Pass to LOWK (Klagenfurt) The pass I then found blocked by clouds, so I used the route via Radstädter Tauerpass which was open. Since I wasn't sure what would happen during flight, I left SkyDemon alone and flew the route by memory. I will definitely try the suggested idea in simulation mode. Thanks for that.
