    It would be very useful to have a compass indicator option for the screen layouts for the app.

    Thanks,

      @Steve-Jarrell There’s normally a big yellow one up in the sky, probably easier to read than a small onscreen one that’ll be constantly jiggling around. 😁

        @Nick-Carthew, If you follow that one, you will be going in half circles... 😉

        I am just an enthusiastic MRA user, and hope you will be one too!

          @Nick-Carthew I really, really, really wish I could see that big bright thing in the sky. We've been planning this 3 week trip for almost a year and all we've seen since it started almost a week ago is clouds, rain, a little sleet and cold weather. On the other hand I doubt a compass would improve our situation! 🙂

            @Steve-Jarrell Oh that’s such a shame 😞 Some people say that there’s no such thing as bad weather, just wrong clothing. I like to slap those people 😀

              @Nick-Carthew I agree!

              We're making the best of it though. Thank goodness for our Gerbing electric jackets (yes, we're spoiled!). They have made a world of difference. We did have a whole day (almost) without rain so we were very thankful!

                Instead of an actual compass, just displaying the 8 cardinal directions (N, NE, E, SE, etc.) would be perfectly fine (probably better) if it's easier just to give you a general idea of which way you're going.

                  Put your route into North Up and then you will know

                    @richard-3v Yep, that's certainly an option, and I do that when I'm flying. However I find that using direction of travel mode gives me much more useful situational awareness especially in high density areas where I'm making a lot of turns quickly.

                    Thanks,

                    Steve
