I'm a PPL instructor in France.
A French regulation makes it mandatory to overfly cities and towns at a minimum height depending on the size of the town.
The official regulation (arreté de 1957) says that the size of the town are shown on the IGN (Institut Geographique National) 1/500000 map.
So I must in practice teach navigation with that IGN map as it is the only source of information available.
As it is not available in Skydemon I just cannot recommend Skydemon to my students, and they go for SDVFR or Flymate instead. It's a shame as Skydemon is I think the best VFR navigation app. Once they get used to another app, they won't change.
