Hi Skydemon Team,

I wonder if there is any possibility to get my current GPS position while in navigation mode? So far I could not find this feature in SD.
I think this would be very helpfull for comunication with FIS e.g. in case of an emergency. In my opinion a good place for this could be the "dirct to" menu. What do you think?

Best Regards and keep up the good work,
Andreas

There is a constantly updating position report at the top of the screen in navigation mode, which you can change to track a waypoint of your choice if you wish
.
This might work but I think it is not that accurate compared to a GPS position and it requires the controller to know the position of the refereed location. And if I fly in the Czech Republic or in Poland I might even not be able to pronounce the name of the location ;-)

You can also touch the screen beside the aircraft symbol.  A window will open and the GPS position (Lat, Long) will be displayed.         

Good point. This seems to be a good work around although I would prefer a solution where I don't have to do a precise touch on a tiny aircraft symbol while sailing towards ground in an emergency situation...
