Hi Max, Apologies for the delay in asking this.

I imagined that the bearing would be reported in degrees Magnetic rather than True? IIRC a radial from a VOR is reported in °M: what info have I missed about the XCSoar choice of True bearing? I know that by displaying the "Next waypoint" Infobox I can also display the waypoint name beside this new "Radial ATC" infobox. I guess it would be possible to develop an additional infobox that could combine waypoint name, radial and distance? Further, I imagine it might be possible for a (new) infobox to display name, radial and distance to a user selected "reference point", such as a VOR or significant geographic feature, that is selected independently from a task or "next" waypoint? Such a "reference point" might be retained for a whole flight or series of flights from a particular airfield. All this is starting to sound like an excellent development exercise for a newbie like me given the existing code is close to the new feature ;). I appreciate any thoughts you have before I embark upon such an exercise and/or writing an enhancement ticket.
