I have the Skydemon installed on a Dell XT2 XFR tablet pc.

Last week I was on a tour from Denmark to Germany, Poland, Sweden and back again.

Generally the software is so nice I forget to look at the maps.

I noted the following:

1) In a hotel where there was free wifi the pc connected to the internet. I then started Skydemon, but it crashed with errors several times. I discovered that the free internet required me to open my browser and click yes to the terms. After this all programs had unlimited internet access and the skydemon did not crash again.

2) When flying it is often nice to pan the map to a location further enroute. Is there any possibility to stop or delay the unit to automatically return to the actual position. I found that often when I was studying the airspace ahead the unit returned and I had to pan back again.

3) If you pan to a point and hover with the mouse you will get a box with airspace info. If the map automatically pans back to the aircraft position the box will stay for a while on the same place on the screen hovering over the wrong map area.

4) I still carry Navbox because the database is more detailed. Skydemon is a much better software but I hope the database will grow fast so we can get more countries, and more details. It is nice to click on an airfield and have phone numbers for example.

5) The notam service is very nice but it is not yet implemented for all countries.

6) Suggestion: Internet in the aircraft is not easy, but I often get sms. Would it be possible to setup an extra service where I could plan my route in Skydemon and set the departure time. Your server could then every ½hour send an SMS with the metar/taf enroute.
