When displaying the "More Info..." weather screen for METARs, TAFS and Winds, the header for each airport gives the distance from the clicked airport. For instance, if you click on Baton Rouge, you also get the METARs for 4 other airports 20, 26, 37, and 41 miles away. It'd be nice to also know the cardinal direction from the selected airport these other airports are. For instance, "20nm NNW", "26nm SSE", "37nm E", and 41nm SE". This will give an idea of which direction has better weather and which direction to avoid without having to scan the chart to find the reporting airports. Of course, the numeric degrees (185, 330, etc) would also work.

Good feedback. I'll add it to the Wish-List. We show the distance, we'd just need to add the relative direction. Thanks again.
