The US market is very different to the European market.

Synthetic vision is a bit of a gimmick (in our opinion), airways support increases with every version, and I'm not sure about displaying an artificial horizon as SkyDemon is a navigation aid, not designed to be a replacement for a gyro instrument.

Well, I already use Checklist Lite (which I see has unfortunately disappeared from the store) which is OK, but it's an iPhone app and a bit clunky, as would be a text editor version. Just think that such an essential tool added to SD with Sd's usual design flare would be rather nice

I couldn't agree more! As for user configurable check lists. Create your own using one of the many text editors available.

Just a remark: personally, I find synthetic vision the most overrated functionality of any main stream GPS ever.

I'm a paid-up member of the Sky Demon fan club, and I never fly without SD on my yoke. However, I do sometimes find myself glancing enviously over the water at the iPad apps available for US pilots, like Foreflight, WingX and now Bendix King's My Wingman with amazing functionality like Synthetic Vision, IFR support and Bluetooth connectivity to solid state giros feeding a proper artificial horizon. What a reassuring backup to my vacuum gauges! Too much to hope that some of these things might find their way into SD? Oh, and an easier one: any chance of user-configurable simple checklist function?
