Well as you get towards the poles the distortions increase if you are
using a lon/lat = x/y projection.
The flaw in your logic is if you map lon/lat directly to x/y headings
in this coordinate system will be significantly different from
headings in the real world (or the

- We don't have a symbol for arrows pointing in other directions.
How about '/' and '\' for diagonal exits, '-' for the '' doublehead ?

One idea for the future I had considered was the 'skymap': An
alpha-chnneled 3D 'overlay' for the terrain showing TMA,
airways, restricted airspace etc.
Yup. It would be valuable for teaching the Class B areas in the USA too.
Just a thought, anyway. Maybe in the far future...
