The moving map in flying mode has three possible orientations: North Up, Track Up, Course Up. 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.

But you may lose the sense of orientation on the compass.The options I propose are a nice compromise. You still know where N, E, S and W are: aligned with the sides of your tablet. But the map also has your heading roughly on top.

That sounds like a lot of work for Tim/Tim's people for an almost pointless gain. If you fly track/course up and don't know which way you're going, despite a block of numbers telling you and the top of a compass rose doing the same thing, then I would take up gardening and stay well away from navigating an aircraft.

That's a very unfriendly reply. Why do you post such a negative message, what good do you think you achieve with that? I could write more, but you don't deserve it.
