It would be useful if there was a simple step to changing the chart orientation when in the navigation mode; therefore, could the 'North Arrow' be made into a toggle button to cycle between 'North Up', 'Track Up' and 'Course Up'?

Looks like it is just you and me Chris - unless others were disturbed by the word 'orientation'!

Tim, as only 2 of us like this idea, I guess it will not be taken forward?

That's a fair assessment. Personally I think most users will have an orientation they like, and stick with it, rather than wanting to switch frequently enough that a more prominent button is necessary.

Update: Today we had to rewrite the code for the North indicator, and it is now interactive. In planning mode it's a shortcut to flip straight back to north up orientation. In flying mode it's a shortcut to the chart orientation menu, so you can easily flip between the orientation modes.

I'm impressed with the response and actions from the SkyDemon team!!
I agree with the request about the orientation request so that makes three of us at least!
