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

Maybe I am too simple minded but when I fly VFR i couldn't care less about SD guiding me through a turn from one leg to the next one. I look down and see the landmark where the waypoint is and then just do a smooth turn. I don't care to make things more complicated than they need to be and thank SD fpr not force feeding me with such stuff either.

That said, IFR flying is a different beast. But SD is stric‌‌tly for VFR.

‌Hi Chris,
‌The point was about getting the new heading info available on the screen without any finger action rather than a reminder that one should do a turn.
‌Never mind.
‌Granted. we can survive without such a feature :-)

Maybe show next leg heading in the area where the landing airfield is normally displayed when you get within a certain distance/time of the turn? Might make sense that this box is all about preparing for the next waypoint, whether it be landing aerodrome info or next leg data. Perhaps combine with the frequency of the nearest airfield to that waypoint (useful if you're routing overhead somewhere without needing to jump through various screens to find it), or navaid frequency if appropriate.
