On the TDC...
Yes, I think KarlKoch has hit the nail on the head and I feel exactly the same way on the TDC, it would be a nice feature and making it toggleable allows the user to decide whether they want it or not.

On the compasses
Perhaps we should keep the larger of the two compasses, would it be possible to have the toggle for compass up/down on the draggable itself in the form of a double headed arrow? and retain the current switch for its visibility?

On an options screen
Whilst it would be good top have these in the main options screen, perhaps it might be better to have a popup screen integrated into the map station for speed, instead of the icons in the extending toggle bar you could have a single button there to bring up an options panel with checkboxes or radio buttons etc, This would make things easier when adding new features. Looking back at old games such as the GNB series, Harpoon etc they have a wealth of features in their map options boxes.
