Hi, François.
There is a question from a 4pda user. Sorry for google English.
There is a question from a 4pda user. Sorry for google English.
Can't you ask the author to bring the search for "distance/bearing" to its logical end - to create not only a track of the form " 100 m 20°", but also a point of the same name at the end of this track?
Then, in the" placemarks on the map", when the" show bearing " option is enabled, specify the reverse azimuth, for example, with a minus sign. There is enough free space there, and the calculations are simple.
I noticed that if we "find" the "distance/bearing" at different values of the "direction to the north", we will get two intersecting segments, which is logical, but in the "placemarks on the map" we will see two tracks with the same characteristics. And it is very difficult to determine which one is correct. I don't know if it's worth putting some kind of label to indicate that a particular azimuth was built, for example, with "magnetic north", but it's definitely worth keeping in mind.
