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

Also, the heading for the next leg is displayed on the next leg, when you are approaching the end of the current leg. It's just there; no option, nothing to press, it's displayed for exactly the reason given: you'd like it.

Well, the aircrafts nose pointer may be drawn over this heading, and also its font is rather small. That's why I like the big "instrument" numbers at the left. 
I don't see a box "turn now onto xxx degrees" appear when approaching the next leg. Something like that is what I'm missing. The next waypoint does appear in the black top bar after passing the waypoint, but it doesn't show heading or duration. I would like to see this info shortly before the point so I know with what heading I should prepare to overfly the waypoint. I can imagine the ETE NXT and HDG NXT could switch over to the next leg 1 minute before reaching the waypoint and have colour green or be blinking during that minute.
