NM distance and compass point direction in "what is there" dialog #1386
Conversation
|
Doesn't compile on Windows due to my poor string handling. Also forgot about i18n and l10n. |
You do realize that there are 3 or 4 Infobox sets that you can assign to additional pages? |
Indeed. It's all about what is the less disturbing/more streamlined. Going back and forth between the normal page and the aux page or opening and closing the dialog. At the moment I haven't flown with that patch, so only better in my head, no practical experience. |

Please integrate this into your previous commit. We don't want fix up commits in the PR.
|
are you still working on this? |
|
I will but very slowly. Also should it be made an configurable feature ? |
Format bearing or azimut into point of the compass with configurable level of precision.
As well as bearing as a point of compass. To help communication with ATC.
|
That should fix the strings issues on windows. Now I need to see to make it configurable |
This set of commits add the distance in nautical miles and the direction as a point of the compass to the Map item dialog aka "what is there" dialog.
Mainly for ease of position reporting with ATC. There is a toolbox for that but I find it's wasting real estate for the occasional use.
