Map notation (heading, etc.): Improved legibility

[Nealius]

I'm having a hard trim reading the map notations (heading, distance, time) because of their placement and orientation.

 

1. Placement. The flightpath lines often obscure entire numbers to the point I cannot read a heading.

2. Orientation. They are always 90 degrees perpendicular to the flight path line. This causes three problems:

              A. They are difficult to read when rotated in certain ways.

              B. It places them among other flightpath lines, which obscure the numbers.

              C. It places them among other heading/distance/time notation, creating a jumbled illegible mess.

 

I propose that the heading/distance/time notation be such that:

 

1.  They are always oriented up.

2. They never overlap with flightpath lines

3. They never overlap with each other.

Also maybe omit notations for legs under some short distance as it will clutter drawing on the map
