An excellent reference work. Well done Tim and SD Team.

The new documentation has now been posted.

Fleagle, you might want to rethink your post in light of the fact that "blaming our customers" was not what I was doing.

I couldn't agree more.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have a friend who never reads 'the manual', and when he has a problem, he will usually contact me, knowing that I will have read it from cover to cover! However, in the case of SD, I find the product so intuitive to use, that I have only, rarely, had to refer to the documentation. Nevertheless, this does not obviate the need for well formatted, accurate, up to date and searchable documentation. Rather, it underscores the need, so that when information is needed, it can be found easily and speedily. SD documentation may have had its shortcomings in the past, primarily because product development has has been so rapid, but knowing the SD team, and how they respond so positively to users' needs and requests, I think the forthcoming new documentation is likely to exceed expectations, and hopefully, it will be in a format that allows the SD team to keep it up to date without undue hassle.

I don't want to get inbetween you and Tim but it is nonetheless true that only the minority of customers reads the manual. A well designed application should not rely on users having read the manual anyway. After all, the computer needs to adapt to the user and not the other way around. And SD is pretty good in this respect.

I don't think that stating a well known fact, i.e., that most customers don't refer to printed documentation for problem resolution, constitutes "blaming" of customers. Not if you consider the kind and level of support offered on this very forum. I haven't seen a RTFM kind of response from any of the SD team members posting here.

Oh dear. Publicly  blaming your customers.  Always a surefire way to win their hearts and minds.....or more over, their wallets.....not.
lol.

It would probably be a good idea to await the new documentation, in which several out-of-date pieces have been removed entirely and the rest redone to best reflect the current devices on which people are using SkyDemon.

Looking at the help pages,nav,live pilot log, it says I can press the edit button, where is that?
Also, TIP, touch to reveal more info doesnt seem to work.
Nexus 7 2013, latest SD.....or do these features not work on android?
Thanks
Pete

I can confirm that the new SkyDemon documentation is much like those other manuals you pasted links to.
