Okay. For more cleaness, what about making all the Azimuth values relative to the true North? The only use of sub-course relative azimuth would be if magnetic declination was simulated in game, or if our compass could break apart (thus forcing us to adjust our route or to orient ourselves with the stars), but I don't think this is going to happen anytime soon...

Okay, I think this is good enough

Anyways you have to align the vertical reference line with the body you want to measure first so there's no need in even trying to call the event (once you are using Sextant [stadimeter] you are not allowed to move camera left or right)
I see

then what is the use of the "Toggle marking lines visibility" button?
