Hi, some functions of the new feature of managing folder of user waypoints are not effective for the PC's new version of SD.
The interface is completly different than Android devices and with less possibility. e.g. You can't create a new folder with attribute "locked to this device", you can't change a folder "locked to this PC" to "folder eligible for Syncing", you can't export any folders, ....
Have you decided to limit the functions on a PC or have planned to develop similar fucntions on PC at later time ?

I am still trying to think of a use case for all these user waypoints, what do you need them for?

I am still trying to think of a use case for all these user waypoints, what do you need them for?

As a practical example, as I fly back to base, I  begin my descent over a prominent supermarket, and turn near a small radio telescope.

Plase can we have an option to enter co-ordinates in the format printed on the IAIP charts accessible through the Instrument Plates tab e.g.

WAYPOINTS
DEKAP : 515637.28N 0005337.10W
DOTIT : 515304.01N 0005238.49W
TC03I : 515537.23N 0004542.18W
TC03F : 515825.61N 0004254.33W
RW03 : 520400.47N 0003719.28W

Ideally please can the SD database include the IAIP co-ordinates for all arrival and departure waypoints.
There are an increasing number of RNP approaches in uncontrolled airspace and it is helpful to visualise these, not only for flight planning but also to see how to avoid them.

In the above example I have used the new waypoint folders facility (thank you) to setup the waypoints for a particular airfield e.g. ‘EGTC RNP’. However selecting them from a database would be far higher integrity than manual entry, and even just being able to use the published format would still be an improvement.
