[v3.6.4 on Android (phone and tablet)]

I love the new Briefing Pack functionality - I'd actually been considering requesting a feature something like that for ages (and will be posting a couple of requests in the feature suggestions forum now I've finally got around to registering for the forums).

However, it seems that the old 'En Route' chart option that used to be in the 'Print Center' has disappeared from the Briefing Pack sections options.

Is this intentional and/or will it be returning?

I always found it really useful having a version of the chart overlayed with NOTAMS for reference during a flight rather than marking on my main chart and cluttering my route markings.

It is intentional. It's worth noting that we haven't taken anything away, it's just that the enroute charts printing feature is not (yet) available on Android. We have had it working, but Android's PDF generation system is quite bad on all the devices we have tested. With a modest route it would produce a > 50mb PDF file which really was unworkable.

That's quite a long time we've now been waiting for en-route charts for Android. I can't always have a Microsoft PC with me and the web-based Skydemon is now more or less inaccessible to me on Linux. More often or not nowadays all I want to have with me is my Chromebook and I run the Android Skydemon app on that no issues at all. But no en-route charts! I can print screen but not ideal. Thanks, Paul
