Hi skydemon team,

the following feature would be nice to have in VFR planning on IPAD and even during a flight.
Draw a radial from a VOR to a point on the map and show the distance and radial from the VOR.
Leave it on screen so its possible to do the same from a second VOR. Then you know two references
bearing/distance from a point to VORs so we an setup the VOR receivers in the plane as cross reference

Great idea!
Could it work as follows:
- tap and hold on the VOR. Today that brings up the "What's Here?" window with the VOR listed as a waypoint. On the VOR window that then pops up, there is listed some information, one entry being "View on Map". What about adding two new entries here:
- "Enter radial": will bring up a field for entering the radial number. The radial is drawn as a line across the screen. You can later tap the line and move it.
- "Select radial point on map": it clears the popup windows to allow you picking a point on the map. The radial is drawn from the VOR to the selected point with distance and radial. You can later move the point and the radial will follow.

And please, for Android too!
