Hello there,

I had my first longer flight with SkyDemon yesterday and  I have to say, I am really impressed. Only one thing nagged me all the time: Since I have the tablet with me and not solid built-in in the cockpit, it stays on the knees of my Co. And in some turbulent athmosphere, it happens, that you touch the display even if you don't want to - and you start a funcionality then that wasn't intended. So my intention is, that SkyDemon should have a button to disable the touch-functionality, unless this button is touched once again. Even better would be an option, to even deactivate ALL touch-functions from Android while navigation mode is enabled. Since I am new to SkyDemon, perhaps there already is an option for this and I might have overseen it?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Best regards, Tobias‌‌

My normal use of SD is via a small, panel mounted, Samsung smartphone. I only touch the screen when I need to.
For one flight I did try using my Android 7" tablet that was attached to my kneepad.
I found it very easy to accidentally touch/move the SD‌ display, especially in turbulent wx, 
I did find that disconcerting as I then had to spend more time looking inside, rather than outside, the cockpit to get SD back to the desired mode.
If feasible, some kind of screen lock function would be a good idea .
