We were 3 aircrafts from Norway on a trip around Europe this summer. Prague, Venice, Austria, and Switzerland, among others Skydemon worked flawlessly. We had three flights that took us through different parts of the Alps. 

One feature we missed was a "Nearest" tab, to show nearest VRP, 

Are there any plans to implement this functionality?

I'm aware you get the nearest airfield when press and hold the SD logo


Thanks for a very good and usefull SW

Are you aware that the area to the right of the search tool in the bar at the top of the chart in Navigation mode always shows you a distance and direction from the nearest significant feature? This will usually be a VRP if one is in proximity - it works best if display of Airways Reporting Points is toggled off.

For what purpose do you want the nearest VRP? Knowing this will help us give you the best answer.

Better would be a list of the next VRPs sorted by name or their distance from the current location!

There is often the situation, especially in Italy, that ATC wants you to fly away from the original routing, via another VRP. Sometimes the controller just wants to know how far away you are from a particular VRP or how long it would take you to fly there.

Occasionally the name of that VRP is difficult to understand and a list that you can quickly search for similar sounding names in the immediate area and that contains relevant information (distance, heading, ETE, ETA) would be helpful.

In this list then the VRP selectable and a "Direct to" function could complete the thing.

Yes, I am aware that the nearest significant point is shown.
Like AM22 says, a list showing VRP sorted by the nearest that would be desirable.
