Provide a graphic for selecting a SID such as this.

JOOC, are IFR pilots allowed to request a certain SID?  Or is this just to give you an idea where you're going to end up when your assigned SID ends?

IFR pilots can request whatever they want.  ATC will end up giving you whatever they want, though.

When flying to an unfamiliar area that might have dozens of SIDs / STARs, seeing them graphically displayed like this can help filter down to the subset of procedures that are likely to be assigned.  Most sites and tools simply present a list of names, and you have to take some action to view each individual procedure to understand what geography they cover.  A graphical summary like this makes that paring down to potentially-relevant procedures much easier.

Great idea, Ron.

Is that screen shot from another name-brand EFB? 

Again, thanks for the useful suggestion and welcome to the fourm.
