SkyDemon's Navigation Options


For SkyDemon to display certain types of traffic, settings need to be altered in the SkyDemon 'Navigation Options'. This can be accessed from the SkyDemon settings cog ⚙️.
‍

  • Enable 'Show Callsigns'. This setting processes registration and flight-ID data.
    ‍
  • Set the 'Vertical Filter' to your preference. 40,000ft is recommended to start with so traffic icons become familiar.
    ‍
  • Enable 'Show Bearingless Targets'. This displays Mode-C/S rings on the map.
    ‍
  • The option to enable 'Verbal Traffic Information' works with PilotAware. However, it doesn't provide voice alerts for Bearingless Targets.
