Something frustrating - am I missing something?

If the compas would be normal you would have to either guess the heading or suptract 180 from the value read from where the line intersects the compass. Sorry for the confusing explanation, but just try to draw a line in a specific bearing with the helper turned on and I'm sure you will understand why it is done as it is.

That's exactly my understanding too Mono. It's actually like that to make things easier.
