For me. I welcome the removal of the tails. All I need is a heading for the contact and the protractor tool from the top drop-down toolbar. It's so easy!
If the target has a heading of, say SW, it's steering 225 degrees. just put the protractor cursor on the centre of the target icon - the little square thingy - left-click and move out until ytou have a line from that point of origin running along 225 degrees. Double left click and the line / course stays on the chart!
At the risk of being patronising, which I do not in any way intend, all you need is the following:
N = 0 deg
NNE = 23 deg
NE = 45 deg
ENE = 67 deg
E = 90 deg
ESE = 113 deg
SE = 135 deg
SSE = 157 deg
S = 180 deg
SSW = 203 deg
SW = 225 deg
WSW = 247 deg
W = 270 deg
WNW = 293 deg
NW = 315 deg
NNW = 338 deg and the protractor.
