      Hello
      Great app although improvements are being recognized by developers.
      Seems compass reference is True N.
      May I request a choice in unit settings for Mag or True?... then a new compass indication (M or T compass pointer) will be required in all map views of N status.
      Also may I request related ability to togggle to the other N reference by touching the status symbol. Symbol should change to indicate temporary toggled condition that has overridden unit setting.
      Thanks for an app that has the potential to be the best!
      Rob

        As magnetic declination varies a lot across a map,
        the compass indication (you ask for) would be right for place A but wrong for place B......

          ..... For an airport you can have the declination following steps 1,2,3,4
