(Incidentally would be useful to have option to see airspace / ATZ etc on aerial photography too) Android and iOS. Edited 7/18/2019 6:57:23 PM by vfr-uk

Just figured if you're displaying the track over the SkyDemon map, why not just leave it there when changing to aerial photography? Presumably it's trivial since there are already vector display lines like circuit patterns etc on the aerial page. A lot less hassle than running two apps for a quick review. IMO :;

Such feature would be great to assess how correct you flew the circuit or how you actually flew vs your planned route. I think this as added value which can not be provided via Google Earth. Regarding the circuit. I have another suggestion. Would it be possibe to have access to aerial photography while in flight ? The idea is that it is much easier to assess where you have to turn when you know on what ground feature you should look for. This would require to load the aerial photography of your departure and arrival aerodrome of your route. I think this would be great....
