Other bugs with Star Alliance timetable

Not quite the same problem, but related to the original topic, so I didn't want to open another thread.

I just downloaded the Staralliance timetable (PC version, not the PDF) and already hate it! I'm not sure what I do wrong or whether this is a bug and might affect other routes as well, but I am trying to plan a trip to South America and don't know anything about which routes are served by which airline.

So, I typed in LIM-SCL and it would come up with some options via GRU. But for the return it never seems to find any flight options. I would get an error message saying:

Certain destinations do not have daily flights. Please use Ctrl+ or Ctrl- to change the date (by the way that doesn't seem to work either ^ )..

But I searched for every day of the week and keep getting the same error message. If you then search only for LIM-GRU and GRU-SCL you will, of course, find the flights, but for what's the point of having a timetable if you need to know the schedules and flights already to be able to use it?

I just wonder how many other bugs this thing has as I doubt that I found the only bug in the system...

Otherwise I like the version, it's really fast for looking up connections, however, I would like to know what class of service are offered in each route. But even the online PDF does not show this.

Is there not real route map somewhere online a la Qantas where you can select a city and it will show you (on the map) to which airports you can fly from this city? I tried the UA website, but it only has a map with airports, but no routes shown on the map. Any other suggestions?
