garantee it.

CustomDatafolder. On Windows computers you will usually find this atC:Users< username >DocumentsSkyDemonCustomData. On Android you will find it under< Internal storage >/SkyDemon/CustomData. - After unzipping you should find the following files:

You should see multiple waypoints with a blue dot icon have appeared.
It didn’t work
Make sure, Glider Waypoints are turned on as described above. Zoom in closer to
prevent the waypoints been hidden by SkyDemons automatic decluttering feature.
You can check your settings while zooming in to Chilhowee Gliderport (92A) and
compare to the screenshot included in the archive.
If you still do not get any waypoints, check if you extracted the archive into
your SkyDemons CustomData folder without any subfolder. Make sure, you did not
change any filename. If you need to correct something here, restart SkyDemon
afterwarts.
