Would it be possible to add the options East Up, South Up, West Up?That would enable us to turn the map more or less into the flying direction while keeping the wind directions aligned with the sides of the tablet.

Is it an aid some kind of mental calculation as to the effect of the wind?Are you aware the wind direction instrument (Setup > Navigation Options > Instruments > Show Wind) can be tapped during flight to cycle between displaying wind vector and head/cross-wind component?My initial reaction was, I'd rather keep it simple.If you still desire East, South, West Up, why not just lock the screen in a suitable North Up orientation before rotating your device back to the 'desired-cardinal-heading-up'?

The way to cure yourself of that is not to think 'left-right' but 'clockwise-anticlockwise' or 'increase heading-decrease heading'Then you have a technique which works whichever up the chart is.
