I'm a recent convert to Skydemon so may have missed something but...it seems a bit awkward that it needs two button pushes to get from the map page to the plog page while in flight.  I like to swop between the two frequently to keep SA about upcoming frequency changes and so on. Any chance of a dedicated plog button just under the Skydemon logo button when in flight mode for those of us who try to combine the best of all navigation methods? 

Thanks for reading!

Press the dark area at the top of the screen with your position in, to jump straight to the PLOG.

That was impressively quick, many thanks Tim that's what I was after.

I noticed when trying to use this feature (iPad) on a flight last weekend that when touching the darkened area with your location at the top of the screen, this unexpectedly (to me anyway) took me straight to the plate for the airfield rather than the plog.

Not sure if this is a feature or a bug? Happy to report further details if the latter (though it doesn't seem to have occurred again since).

Calum.

I expect it does that if you're navigating your last leg, whereas if you're navigating any previous leg it takes you to the PLOG.

Hmmmm...this might be a bit problematic. According to generally accepted UI guidlines, the same user input ought to result in the the same reaction/output/behavior unless a different "mode" is clearly recognizable to the user. In the situation at hand, it seems a bit arbitrary to bring up the PLOG on every but the last leg of a route (as evidenced by the previous poster's comment). In the intereest of a clean UI it might be better always and consistently to do either one or the other.

It might be a good idea to include a Help menu which brings up screen hints and shows the user what he can tap and to what end (the iPhoto app does this very nicely). There is now sufficient complexity that one can't simply divine which area to tap to get which result. I know, you can always read the manual, but who really ever does...

It has behaved this way for years. To change it now would effectively break it for everybody who is used to the current behaviour.

Yes, I realize this. I was just pointing out that the way this is integrated into the UI is not optimal. You do so many things right in SD that this glitch really sticks out.
