Group: Forum Members Posts: 623, Visits: 30K	When using the 'Track Waypoint' feature, the QDM/QDR are given in the Search/Position block at the top of the chart.

(A really nice supplementary feature would be the option to enable ADF dip on the needle. This would help when training pilots for the UK the IR and IMC rating in areas where accessible NDBs are thin on the ground).)
