      Please add the readout of the "course" together with the distance in the Distance & planning tool.

        Do you mean the course and the distance between waypoints, like that:

        This addition should be very useful

        However it is important to note that the route between waypoints is a Great Circle route, which means that the steering course is changing along the route. This is particularly true when the waypoints are very far apart, and in this case the “course” would only be the bearing of a waypoint relative to the previous one, and not the heading to follow.

        The workaround to display the different headings on the Great Circle route would simply be to add several waypoints on this route.
