Hi Pavel!

one suggestion for a minor task: choosing viewing direction.

I find it not much intuitive to be forced to enter a number for my viewing-direction. I have to be aware that it goes clockwise from 0° to 180° to 359°.
Would you consider providing, let's say, at least a combobox for letting the user-select "N (0°)", "NNE (27,5°)", "NE (45°)", "ENE (72,5°)", ...., "S (180°)", ..., "NNW (°)"? Or some arrow to rotate if clicked-and-moved?

If you have time (sometime in the future).

Hey, Reinhart!

Yeah, certainly a problem.
Good idea with the combo-box, makes sense.
We will think how to make this feature more intuitive.

Thanks!

Hi Pasha and Reinhart,

Reinhart, I really like your idea of moving an arrow around.

Before GPS, we used a compass and a map. Why not have a compass and let the user move the arrow around to the viewing direction that they want? Like Reinhart has already posted, this is all in the future.

Great idea Reinhart.

Great idea.
I also love the idea of a compass.
