Regarding the compass rose that has my plane at the center:  the radius of that circle changes on what seems like the zoom level of the map.  Is there an explicit calculation that the softwre uses to calculate that radius?  Is there anyway to make it match what the "glide distance" would be in the case of an engine out situation?

It seems to me that the compass rose is set as a fixed number of pixels from the airplane icon so it always looks the same on the map, which means it's a fixed but often odd distance out.

I would like to see this added to the list of things to add to the program. I have seen this feature on Forflight. I like it alot.

it scales with your zoom level. lots of ideas have already been floated about glide rings and dynamic glide radii with EFB.
