I use custom waypoints not only for place I want to go but to mark places I want to avoid.  e.g. I'll tag some skydiving operations with 'Avoid by 3 miles' etc.  Would be useful if when defining a custom waypoint you could select an option to put a cirle around it with a specificed diameter.

Second that.

It would also come in handy for at least some of the national monuments, such as Devils Tower, where there's a required distance you must maintain when circling it.

I was unaware of needing to remain any distance from these places.  I don't plan on going there, but would it be possible for iFly to automagically put circles around these sites, with an information window explaing why the circle has been drwwn and geerally what the rules are?

I'm thinking of Devils Tower right now, and remember it from the Movie, but that was how many years ago, and I could envision myself flying by it, and either thinking it's interesting, or that it looks familiar, and perhaps circling (too close) while trying to either just enjoy the view, or figure out where I"ve seen that before.  I would imagine there are a bunch of other similar places that I could innocently blunder into the area if it wasn't marked.

The FAA has it clearly marked on the Sectional:
