In Switzerland, ATC and other pilots, strongly prefer to only ever use names of places that are listed on the official ICAO chart.

SkyDemon has a couple of issues:

1) There are places listed in SkyDemon that are not on the ICAO chart.
2) There are places on the ICAO chart _not_ listed on SkyDemon.

The first is a larger problem, since a pilot may be tempted to report their position using a name not listed on the ICAO chart, and the ATC or other pilots in the area would have no idea.

What kinds of workarounds are available to alleviate this issue?

I'm working on this issue at the moment, with some help from Jules above. While I am hoping to improve the selection of towns in our Swiss chart, I thought I would post a screenshot showing what the SkyDemon chart would look like with ALL the towns from the Swiss ICAO chart displayed. Most would probably agree that it is a mess, and not very usable.
