+1 don't think the new hyperlink adds anything, detracts from the simplicity of the menu.

Of a hyperlink? They indicate an action will occur when clicked (rather than opening another menu, or simply being an inert piece of text to show info).


I'm quite confused by the new menu rendition too. Sometimes, the hyperlink (something I clearly do not expect in an application) opens a new windows (maps, plane profil), sometimes it opens a sub menu (navigation options), sometimes it is a selection (Flarm, Dynon, X-Plane), ... 

I can't find any logic or any tips of what I can expect after clicking such a link. What's more, and possibly the most important, it's way less readable (less contrast) and the rendering is quite ugly ... To me, it's a real step backward on usability.

Thanks all for the feedback. We've had various feedback on here, Facebook and by email, and it conflicts somewhat. I think what we'll have to do is ship the feature pretty much as-is, then evolve it in future versions based on a wide consensus. I do agree a to/from indicator would be nice.

Hi Tim,

the OBS as it is right now is precisely what my onboard GPS Systems do. We have a magenta line for the inbound track and a white for the outbound. With OBS only the Inbound track is specified, your numbers on the track are nice! However I would second the request to have a to/from indication on the HSI, because this is what you need in flying Holdings - but this is _IFR anyway....
Thanks for implemeting
Regards
Erik

Thanks Pete, we will consider it further. To be clear, you think the user should be explicitly selecting inbound/outbound when they select the radial, right?


No, I think it was fine as before(without the numbers), just that "radial" should be called OBS. or Omnibearingselector or,OmBrgSel etc and the HSI should have a top and tail (to indicate the selected course) as per conventional HSI.(see attached) 

A "to" and "from" flag would be nice showing waypoint passage(green triangle in piccy), but this should be obvious from the map display.

Regards

Pete

Thanks all. The hyperlinks are not accidental!


What is the significance?
