Five years flying behind the Skyview and this is the first time I have seen this, (circled)? Anyone seen this before? When I touched it the information popped up above it

It's a PIREP for Severe Turbulence. In this case reported 31 minutes ago by a PA-28 at 8,500’.

See Pages 7-74 and 7-75 of the SV Classic/Touch Pilot’s User Guide for more info.

Here is a screenshot from my SV Touch showing a PIREP for Low Level Windshear. The small green arrow indicates that more info is available if you touch the PIREP info block.

Here is the additional info for the PIREP shown above:

Search in whatever Skyview User Guide suits your system for a paragraph titled "PIREPS"

Also search for a paragraph "Weather Options Controls" for how PIREP notifications are toggled on/off on the map page.

Thank you all. Always something to learn. I have 1200 hours with this same plane / Dynon, never saw these, good to know, a bit embarrassed.

It's worth reading the changelogs for each new software version. New features such as this (this has been available for a while) are noted in the logs and described in the updated User's Guides/Installation Manuals.
