Re: Waypoint Bearing

[Andrew Johnson]

Hi Bill,

Not quite... however, if you create a pin, and then select the "Guide Me' option, then you can see the bearing the waypoint.

I agree it would be better if it worked as you describe. We have some plans to work on the pin placement/route-making/distance-measuring tool in the app, but I don't have an ETA. Here is the highly up-voted UserVoice idea: http://help.gaiagps.com/forums/118985-ideas-for-gaia-gps/suggestions/3265607-measure-distance-from-your-location-and-distance-p

Is there a way, during waypoint creation, to display not only the lat/lon but the bearing?  In other words, when I have dropped my pin and am dragging the pin around the screen, I'd like to see the bearing from my current location to the pin.  This is useful when I have shot a bearing to a place I want to go and want to make sure my pin placement is on that bearing.

In the meantime, as a hack, you can set a waypoint at your current
location and guide to it, then as you walk away from it make sure that
you stay along the desired bearing.
