This is a request I made years ago, but has fallen through the cracks of multiple enhancement stops and starts.
You are (have always been) inconsistently and unhelpfully dealing with the situation of airports that don't have a diagram -- which is the vast majority of airports, of course. In some cases (e.g. 3W5) you gray out the View Diagram button. In other cases (e.g. KBVS) you do not gray out the button, but when the user clicks/taps on it, it pops up an unhelpful "No Diagram Found" error box that they have to clear.
At the least, these two cases should behave the same -- disable (gray out) the View Diagram button. Don't provide a button whose sole result is an error popup.
It would be a better idea, and helpful, if the button said "RealView" when there is no diagram but there is a RealView "picture" available. Then when the user clicks on the RealView button, it centers and zooms to that level so they can get what they want: a look at the airport layout. (As a side note: RealView is a nice feature and this will make it more prominent and used.) This saves the user from having to carefully center (and re-center and re-center) the airport on the map, and repeatedly click/tap the zoom button (or pinch-zoom) until they get to the right zoom level.
[P.S. "please" and "thank you"]
