Hi there!
There are already so many requests and posts about adding custom georeferenced charts in SD.
It would be great to have the option to add our own charts — maybe we’ll see this feature someday.

But for now, it would be a really nice feature if the "Aerial Photography" layer were also available in flight mode, not just in planning mode.

Is there any chance we might see such a feature?

I believe it already is. 

- Touch on the chart somewhere to bring up the ‘What’s here’ pop-up
- touch on the relevant feature/lat-long ref
- touch on ‘aerial photography’ at the bottom of the pop-up

If it’s an airport you touch on the chart, you can access Aerial Photography from the info pop-up.

Not ‘one-touch’ but it’s there.
