I'm trying SeeYou Navigator on a Galaxy S8 (android). When I tap on an airport, the only airport information it shows is the airport frequency. That's true, even if I use the database I'm using in my Oudie 2, which does show other info, like runway length and direction, plus any comments in database for that airport. How do I get that information to display?

Also, how do I keep the "default" airport database from being used? Currently, with my database in use, I get duplicate airports showing in the list when I tap on an airport.

Eric,

Click layers upper right make sure airports is not selected.

You need to have SeeYou Cloud a subscription for SeeYou.  In SeeYou Cloud start SeeYou add your data base,  Montague.cup.

When your phone is connected to the internet the Navigator Cloud will sync.  Settings Collections Turn on your Montague waypoint files.

If your files have the runway information you will see the airport.  The my Montague turnpoint files show:  Frequency, Runway, Length, width  AWOS, Fuel(that has not been there for 5 years or more)

First, the subject line is incorrect: I only tested Navigator - don't know why I included Oudie N.

Richard and I worked on this over the phone, and finally concluded it's most likely the phone that is causing the problem,, not the Navigator software, not the database, and not how I'm loading the database into Navigator on the phone. A big clue was the built-in "default" database also did not display any airport info beyond elevation and radio frequency. The phone uses a supported version of Android (ver 9), and the software (2.14.1) is the latest software. I've sent an inquiry to Naviter, hoping they can tell me how get the Galaxy past this glitch; otherwise, seems to do everything else properly.

Now that I'm confident the lack of airport data display is specific to my phone, I've returned to my original plan to replace my Oudie 2 with an Oudie N IGC, and ordered one from Richard (Craggy Aero). The discount ends Jan 30, so I'll get that. Also ordered a Flarm dongle.
