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 :-)

SD does display " turn now onto xxx degrees" or similar message, for about 5 seconds approaching the next leg. Also, is clear on SD display. Just turn to follow the next magenta line..
Also, the instrument at bottom of screen shows next heading to turn on to...
