Are you sure you're looking in the right spot? I had to go check to see what it did on my display and It took me a bit to figure out what it did. It only affects the status bar at the bottom where it normally displays just lat/long/grid', adding distance and bearing to the cursor to that field. I did notice that on my display with my choice of fonts the text doesn't fit in the field and I have to select it with the mouse and highlight to see everything. The field should be wider, so that seems to be a bug. > Personally for me, the distance is kinda nice but I can care less about > the bearing.

Not that it couldn't be done, just that it hasn't filtered to the top of anyone's todo list. > Would be nice if this could be more configurable and maybe just show the > following which would lend Xastir's display to being a bit less cluttered: > > jogger K6OJ-7 > symbol 3.8mi > 2 min > > or maybe just > > jogger > symbol > K6OJ-7 > > --David > KI6ZHD ... -- Ken - N7IPB Email: [email protected] JID: [email protected] PGP Sig: F42B EF90 3CD3 31C7 3056 122E 993A 7B2E 5138 C42A Entropy isn't what it used to be.
