Hi!
I know I can press the magneta leg and click leg properties to get this info, but surely there is an easier way? My intensions are to know to which heading to turn before turning. Planning ahead. Is there a way to put this info up in the left hand side, so that it is always displayed?

Many thanks in advance =)

I've been trying to persuade SD to provide a readout of bearing to the next waypoint, but there seems to be resistance.

There seems to be some confusion over terms.  I agree that SD cannot provide a heading because it does not know the wind.  What it SHOULD be able to do is provide the BEARING to the waypoint. From that, the pilot makes a mental adjustment for the wind and works out a heading to steer.

As others have pointed out, there are some ways to see the bearing information, but they are fiddly and cumbersome.  What is needed is a BRG display option in the Instruments menu.  I simply cannot understand SD's resistance to providing this most basic of navigation information.
