Showing bearing in degree in POI list additional to the distance

In the overview of the POI there is the distance and a little blue arrow for the direction. It would be very helpful also writing the bearing in degree beside the distance.

I miss the possibility to see the degrees in the POI table also. It would be a nice feature.

I am a hamradio operator and I have to direct my antenna in different exact directions. The used amateur radio sites are in my POI List and for this I need the value. The antenna is mounted on a mechanical rotor with an compass. Only a little blue arrow is useless for me.

The little blue arrow has no value for me. It would be very usefull to change in the settings between showing blue arrow or the degree value. The needed space in the POI list is nearly the same as for an arrow. I using often my binoculars with integrated compass to look for the visibility of summits in the Alps. I have all the summits as POI an it would be much easier for bearing the summits with my binocular when I have the value.

Hi guys,


thanks for your posts. It's as I thought - your reasons are really very special and such use-case has one promile of users. Currently this idea has very low amount of votes (and I'm suprise that almost no negative), so I'll keep it as is for now. We'll see later.
