Is it possible to add notification about 'next leg hdg' into the main map panel (along with fields GS, ETA, ALTITUDE etc.) so the next bearing will be visible all the time while flying without need of going to pilot's log?
At the moment You can only choose in setup>instruments "Show Track" option which is actually doubling with what is being placed on DI.
‌‌Thanks‌‌

Funny, there is an article on boldmethod today about this problem and what it does to a G1000 (http://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/navigation/what-is-the-airplane-doing-now/ )

Nicely described as "Turn Anticipation - Most of the waypoints on a GPS approach are "fly-by" waypoints, which means you might not fly over them. Or get even close to them, for that matter. Your GPS calculates the most efficient turn on to your next course, and then 'cuts the corner' to make a smooth turn between course segments.‌‌"

SD also takes a while until it switches to the next track leg and displays the new heading‌‌ - this is the reason why the display of the next heading sounds like a good idea.
