Suggestion to update Local Time as you fly through different time zones

[Craig Dixon]

Currently, the UTC Offset must be changed manually in setup to show the correct Local Time in the top bar. It may be that the GPS signal does not include this information but if there is a data source to enable the adjustment, it would be nice if a future update would include an automatic update so that the correct Local Time would be displayed when flying through different time zones.

The data source is the map. My iPhone knows where it is, so knows what time zone it's in. There's no reason that the Skyview can't do the same.

There are a zillion little things like that that Dynon COULD do to make usage a lot nicer. I've been waiting for the "Nearest" list to rearrange itself in real-time as one moves, to show the closest airports at the top, for about 13,567 years. My Garmin 195, that I bought used in 1998, could do that. And, and, and. Dynon doesn't seem to have any reasonable "enhancement" submission system or list or public indication of what they expect to be enhancing in the future. That's one of the few things they do poorly - they say, write it to the support email, but then it just disappears into the black hole at the center of the galaxy. There are defect tracking systems that can do exactly this, with outward facing feedback...
