The FG-protocoll sends a vector as orientation data, defined as:
--- cut ---
// orientation wrt the earth centered frame, stored in the angle axis
// representation where the angle is coded into the axis length
xdr_data_t orientation[3];
--- cut ---
I can either compute a degree value (0=north, 180=south etc) and provide the
map with this as an additional value or provide the complete vector.
Since the map uses the telnet interface to the server, which in fact wasn't
meant to get "abused" that way but let humans have a look at current clients,
I suggest to let the server print out a degree value so humans can make sense
of that value, too.

Oliver
