Display the sun at border of screen

Hey, sometimes even the given possibilities weren't enough for me for easy navigation... E.g. with difficult junctions and when compass fails...

As another option, you could display the sun on the locus screen, in the direction where it currently is.

Good day Michael,

what are the main problems you have during navigation? With LoMaps ( or any other vector maps ) you should be able to zoom it a lot, to see every possible detail. Also why compass fail in such cases for you? Display sun directly on the screen may helps in clear area with visible sun and a lot of time to compare orientation, but such situations aren't always.

Well, my compass failed once. I say this is not super important and situations may be rare, but it would be another option for helping in orientation. Rather a "nice to have" thing.

Oki, thanks.

In this case, I believe that time required to make this feature nice and polished ( and mainly optional ) does not worth it's benefit and really rare usage I see here. Thank you for understanding.
