KSFM VOR 25
I used it last month as an overlay, no issue. Today, went flying, and it didn't appear on the list of procedures available for an overlay. On the list of the charts on the airport details "charts" tab, the VOR RWY 25 approach is there, but no little globe on the right hand side as with the other approach charts.
When I was flying today, there was a popup when I brought up the chart (not the overlay), but I forget what it said because I was flying the play and wanted the damn chart. Something about filters I think?
Anyways, any idea what I need to do in order for it to show back up as an overlay? Flightcharts, not Smartcharts.

I have the same issue with the VOR-A approach into KCON. Odd. But I can see the overlay of the VOR 06 into KHYA.

Looks life for some reason, the new chart is not georeferenced in Pilot. I’d write to support and ask.
 
That's basically what they said. Charts aren't georeferenced anymore, most likely due to FAA changes in the charts, and that I should use the new smart-charts.

That chart is not georeferenced. Approach charts generally are. I’m not sure what it was, but there was a non-TERPS change to the chart toward the end of January. That may account for it. Interestingly, the ForeFlight chart is georeferenced.

I think they are great, but “you should use the SmartCharts” is not an answer.
