I had talked with Ed about this via the phone and he thought this was doable. When we're flying along and touch a spot...it will show us distance from present postion and (I thought) long. and lat. of that "touched" spot Would it be possible to have a full compass come out around the aircraft, that would help in determining the radial, as in to transmit that info directory to the facility that is, for example helping with flight following? When reporting a positon of say roughly I.E. "34 miles SW of IND international", one could be more precise in giving the degree. Just my mind coming up with ideas. If it's already there, well forgive me but it wasn't included 2 wks ago on my last flt. Take care. DM

Good idea...my home base is a busy non-towered airport. Listening to inbound traffic reporting their positions is a

comedy routine at it's finest. At least the iFly pilots could make an accurate call.
