dialing up the 'appropriate frequency if you can guess it'.

Why not look it up?
A genuine question: "Where?"
A comment: If the area frequency can indeed be looked up, what is the
benefit in not displaying it in pictorial form (i.e. on the chart the pilot is already using for navigation)?
Another comment: Whatever the 'appropriate' frquency might be, it seems self-evident that it is most useful if everyone in the same area is on the
same frequency. That way, if you do need to talk to someone, you can do so.
p.s. I survived 1.5hrs in Class G VFR today, whilst IFR descents took place around and about to the multiple airfields in the vicinity...
How did you know about the IFR aircraft?
