I've added the code to add display the bearing in creating a track here:
https://github.com/rnorris/viking/tree/StagingPatches
I may refactor it more before committing it to the master, but it's there for
any one to look at.
A small issue could be the text on the main display shows *total* length of the
track[1], but the bearing from the last point - so there's a slight discord
between the values.
Maybe it's more sensible to just show the distance from the last point; since
the statusbar shows the total distance of the track.
Any thoughts?
[1] Because that's what I find most useful so I stuck it there some while ago
(as back then it didn't show any additional text).
