This beta marks a substantial change in how briefing information is retrieved by SkyDemon. Whereas in the past you had to plan a route before weather and NOTAM information would be downloaded, now it just happens automatically as you scroll around the map.
TAF/METAR: The green/yellow/red buttons still show on the map. The "Get Weather for Chart" option is now gone from the Weather menu because all you have to do is zoom out. Zoom to show the whole of Europe if you like; all TAF/METAR will appear.
GAFOR: These are simply downloaded and shown, if you are looking at a supported country on the map. No more confusion about having to plan a route that goes through a suitable country.
Rainfall: This is just downloaded and shown as you scroll around the map. Zoom out for a high-level view of all of Europe if you like.
NOTAM: Since we show these on the map, they are included in the change too. If you're looking at a country, its NOTAM should appear on the map, with no need to plan a route there.
The beta is already posted and available for Android. I will post one for PC tomorrow, and iOS shortly after.
