The automatic chart overlay feature is good when it works, but it seems to not work I'm situations when more than one chart is available.

It's kind of frustrating that this is the case, because it's usually exceedingly obvious which one to display. I can think of some heuristics that could be used. But also, if that's deemed impractical or inelegant or whatever by the developers, then how about giving users some control if this? I should be able to state when planning a route which chart I would like overlayed depending on my position in the nav plan.

Would you like me to move this thread to the Suggestions forum so others can weigh in?

This is a complex situation you're describing, which is probably fewer than 1% of the situations our users (as a whole) run into on a daily basis. We need to be fairly certain that at least 10% of customers are going to use a feature before we implement it. Moving this to Suggestions will allow others to weigh in.

You may be familiar with the Airfield Brief, which show up in the bottom-right corner of the screen when you're close enough to your destination that you may want to quickly select an approach. It would possibly be more straightforward for us to add georef charts to that menu for easy selection. Does that sound like it would help?
