Well said!
Perhaps a good compromise would be if someone could come up with a bearing mod that did not show the bearing in 5 or 10-degree intervals. Perhaps by using N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, etc., etc. Thus, one would have some spatial awareness but be required to do some conversion and estimation on the exact bearing. Just a thought. |
I agree; this should be an easy mod for someone with paintshop skills. I would use it in a heartbeat.
