This is exactly what I was driving at. I'm a trained draughtman and pilot, and experienced sub-simmer, and I can't make head nor tail of all the buttons on the map view. I just want to be able to place a ruler or protractor on the map, be able to orient it by simple means and draw lines. Annotating times is a nice feature, but has VonHoffman says, it's terrifically "clunky" to use.
