I have a hard time finding nearby navaids (VOR, NDB, etc) or important waypoints such as airports, etc. in SkyDemon. Many nav systems have a "nearest" function, a list of items by distance from a position. I would expect SkyDemon has a similar feature, but I cannot seem to find it. Any advice?

Thanks,
-- Terrence

Could you describe the situation in which it's necessary to have a list of the nearest radio navigation aids?

If you're asked to route direct to one, you can press the Find symbol then type its identifier. Aids that are nearby will be shown first in the list.
