Plotting a bearing line is a really basic function of navigation. Many users have requested this feature. This could be added to the “+” menu.

Add->Bearing would bring up a marker, with a line back to your location. As you move the marker, the bearing and distance would be displayed.

This is necessary for using Gaia with a sighting compass to identify objects/locations.

Being able to show multiple bearing lines would be extra nice, say for those times when you want to do some triangulation, but I’d be thrilled just to get a single bearing line capability.

Thanks,

Charlie

  Yes, we need it.

  As Locus Map do it. Take it as a reference.

  I am extremely surprised this isn’t already a thing. It should take a number heading, or optionally use the device compass.

  Definitely a basic feature for any mapping app. Please add this feature.
