METAR and TAF always in raw?

Is it possible to have the RAW option for METAR and TAF 'sticky'? If you select it RAW it would stay until you deselect it?

Also, on my Nexus7, I found it would be useful to have an hourglass or something to indicate the program is busy and won't accept new inputs for a couple seconds.

Thirdly, with my fat fingers, in flight, it is difficult to change the route by dragging. Either it will create a new waypoint or tell me the info for the airspace under my finger. Maybe have a CTRL-key/button that needs to be pressed first in order to drag a route?

Thanks,

Dirk

The forthcoming 2.6.3 version of SkyDemon remembers the raw/decode setting for TAF and METAR.

It isn't possible to change the route by dragging while in flight; this is deliberate, to avoid accidental changes. To make changes, hold your finger down on the map and use the menu options to insert or remove waypoints.
