SKyDemonLight and ENR 3-1 7-Apr-2011

Interesting; ENR 3-1 of 7 Apr 2011 does seem to correspond with SkyDemonLight for M605.

But I guess I had always assumed that
- if you have the current CAA chart
- and with the amendments
and followed the information carefully then you would be 'OK' in not infringing controlled airspace.

If indeed M605 has changed, then why would the CAA not mention an amendment to the edition 37 chart?
Avoiding the corner of M605 is not a problem on the given route, but there are lots of other areas of airways on SkyDemon which are not shown on the current CAA chart.
This would imply that one would have to do a SkyDemon check before each flight as well as looking at the chart, plus maybe do a print-out / screen grab of SkyDemon as well.
It would also suggest that one would take the SkyDemon print-out as the 'master reference' instead of the current CAA chart - which would seem counter-intuitive, complex and goes against what has been done for a long time (and I would have thought a lot of pilots would not do this).
