Ah, this is very needed. Many of us have the problem of the scaling being wrong with range information, especially with wide screen resolutions. Some of the bearing tools have also been off by a half degree or so (in bearing) too. I like the looks of what you have done here. Could I make a request/suggestion?

We need a new 3000 yd bearing tool with accurate range capabilty. It would also be nice IMO to add some more "lines of bearing" to the tool you have already posted here. Also..with the 3000 yd tools I have used to date, I have often wished the 0 degree line were bolder. This would assist when using a less zoomed in view of ownship. May be impractical, but perhaps a "red line" for zero degrees ? That would be outstanding.
