Compass + ruler tool

Please add a transparent, movable compass tool with a ruler indicating distance (or simply a ruler with heading and distance info) to calculate carrying over of headings from one waypoint to another while creating or modifying a flight plan.

I know there’s already the user waypoint functionality that allows to add custom waypoints to a flight plan, but what if we want to create those waypoints within the FMS from a given place with bearing and distance information? Or create a mere DME arc? For now, we can’t visualize proper headings and distances on the map. I have to go to Google Earth to get such a tool, which also requires to take account of the heading discrepancies between GE information and the chart information.

So, such an addition would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! :slightly_smiling_face:

This seems similar to Add a distance/bearing ruler. If so, we recommend you post there and add your vote.

Indeed! Sorry, I searched for a similar topic with “compass” keyword and couldn’t find any. That’s why I created this one. It’s ok, I voted for the other one.

Cheers,
