This is an outstanding idé.
As BDU says: "Keep up the good work!"

Own Course is something that should always be displayed, digitaly.
It's OK for the helmsman to wander off course a-little.
It's not OK for us to not know our actual heading.

A nice command to add would be: "Mind your helm".
That would be a big (and realistic) improvement over:
22.00 New Course 090.
22.02 New Course 090.
22.05 New Course 090.
(IF you can hit the compass perfectly. Good luck.)
