hi

- i would like to see more view screen. one showing just a compass, hsi etc (similar to oziexplorer)

- i emergency button listing surrounding airfield frequencies, dnd frequency and a position report

"4 miles SE of Aylesbury" - this should be easy to program

- i would also like to see the option of showing checklist which each user can programm for themselves

- more aircraft templates by default

- an arrow showing the wind direction (taken from the weather forecast)

- a home button for a direct leg to your home airfield

- a quick plan button using a bigger onscreen keyboard to type in waypoints easier aka a phone --> this needs to be more

friendly for big fingers

- more disused airfields on the maps as these are a good reference points whilst flying

- roads and motorways should be shown in different colours and line thicknesses

what do you guys think?

I would have agreed with points above some 10 years ago. But technology has moved on and there would be no harm to use it to enhance safety. Suction pump/electric failure..rare but do happen and when they do any available resource would be welcome.

Most data needed are within SD already. Same goes for Plog which provides an up to the second up-date automatically. I think it would be a great help in the cockpit for destination flying. One can have the option of not using it of course.



Unfortunately, it is a competitive market. Software like hardware need to constantly evolve if it were to survive. But one has to keep it simple (Unlike other pocket products).



I am actually hoping that soon I will do without my monochrome skyforce and Garmin pilotIII , leaving SD on its own in the cockpit to do their job.

I am also wondering if a simple equation from triangulation can be introduced into SD to enable it to derive a reasonably accurate DME (call it EDME for estimated) from a GPS distance.
