I'll talk with Walter. I've been toying with some additional icons. The issue with making the larger arrows is, currently the point of the arrow is your current position. We only have so much size due to rotation, without a more drastic code revision. To make them larger, we would have to use the center of the arrow icon as the current position. This might not be much of an issue for most, but some might not want that.

I'm initially thinking a Large Arrow (center of icon is current position) and Small Arrow (point of arrow is current position). Stay tuned, I'll run it up the flag pole.

Where is the 'current position' on the little green airplane icon? On the nose or in the center? I'm just asking for an arrow size that is the same size as the airplane icon. If you placed the arrow icon on top of a white circle the same size of the airplane's circle, that would be just right. Thanks! - Jim

Jim,

The center of the airplane icon is the actual current position, not the front propeller. That is kind of my reasoning that it would be ok to have the center of the arrow the current position. We are not using the icon for that high of accuracy. Basically a few mm of variance.
