Would it be possible to be able to select a specified VOR/DME for showing on the PLOG in the RNAV column?  

I went to Redhill and from a cockpit management point of view it was easier to note the range/bearing to a consistent VOR/DME station.  However, SD used CPT, then OCK and finally BIG and I didn't want to retune and identify 3 separate stations.  So I selected Midhurst (MID) as it gave me the best range/bearing from a single source.  

Could have used Biggin (BIG) instead but the point is it would be easier to use a single RNAV for a particular phase of flight rather than the arithmetic closest which changes 3 times while doing a zone crossing and final phase of flight.

Something that might help is using the 'Track Waypoint' feature.

- Long press the single VOR you want to track, to display the 'What's here' pop-up

- Touch the VOR in the 'Waypoints' section at the top

- Touch 'Track Waypoint' in the 'Navigation' section at the top

A running Radial and Distance from the VOR will be shown in the black bar at the top of the chart. I will disappear though if you touch it.

I see the problem, but I think it very unlikely we would implement the feature as suggested. Partly because very few SkyDemon users are still using VOR navigation, but also because we'd need quite a lot of people to contribute to this thread indicating they also face the problem.
