They can concentrate on clarity, which they do admirably when one takes into account the other tools available in the product, such as filtering, the virtual radar and the What’s Here pop-up.

The IACO way is much better! You might be the only person on this planet YOU should probably gather a bit more intl. experience, before writing such comments. IACO is an international body and its airspace annotation are not a local flavor. You can refer to here: Airspace annotation guidance 2.17 Even the latest version is more than a decade old. It was made for paper charts and is obsolete.

Like you say, there are many products that do offer that. If there is a specific aeronautical entity on a paper chart that you believe should be included in SkyDemon charts, do feel free to suggest it here. Hi, please refer to the 2 attached pictures. I find the SD way of indicating airspace extremely difficult to read, especially during flight. The IACO way is much better!

l Group: Forum Members Posts: 30, Visits: 81	+x dvah - 12/14/2025 6:14:52 PM According to the latest newsletter I've read, SkyDemon dev team is happy with the product and no feature is missing. I agree with that and I find it fantastic to fly with. However, I can say that French pilots are missing one feature that is available in other softwares which is the official VFR ICAO IGN map 1/500000 (eg. VFR Next / Garmin Pilot). I'm not sure it's feasible to add it in the software, but I mention it as SD competitors usually offer it. Quite sure as well that SD dev team thought about it. Yep, would be nice! and its FoC as well.
