Anyone else noticed that the help tools you get when you click the ? button on the F5 screen are pointing the wrong way?

I never use them, just noticed it.

Well, it looks like they are pointing the wrong way, but if you actually try to use them you'll see that it is more practical that way.

For example, if you drag out a course in your intended direction of travel, the line extends behind you to cross the compass tool and gives you your compass heading. Otherwise, you'd get the reciprocal (+/- 180 deg) of your intended course.

Hm, yes that makes sense. Drag a course to 270 and the line will cross the W mark. As for the others then, any good tips on them?
