navigami

I would like to use Navigami in the air. I have two suggestions to make Navigami more useful for pilots. Implementing these features may be popular with others also.

(1) The information I would like to see, all on one screen, is:

Track (the course actually being followed),
Heading (the heading to the currently selected waypoint),
Distance to waypoint (in nautical miles - used almost universally in aviation)
Waypoint (the name of the selected waypoint),
Speed (in knots),
Altitude (in feet - still used almost universally in aviation),
ETA (estimated time of arrival HH:MM in UTC using the formula implemented for the sailors),
or ETE (estimated elapsed time until arrival HH:MM)
Optional: the current time in UTC,
Position (in degrees and minutes)
Optional: deviation from track - nautical miles left or right from track.

The reason for having all this on one screen is that pilots (especially helicopter pilots) often don't have a free hand available to shuffle from one screen to another to collect all this info, and they often have to respond quickly to information requests from air traffic control.

Please note that *worldwide* pilots use UTC when talking to air traffic control.

(2) Magnetic heading variation from True heading

Pilots still are expected, when talking to ATC, to quote magnetic not true headings. Runway directions are quoted in magnetic headings, etc etc. This is not a big issue in the UK where True and Magnetic North are almost the same. But in New Zealand the deviation is 23 degrees. In Canada, South Africa and in may other places big variations also occur. There are perhaps several ways of coping with this. One would be to incorporate the doubtless complicated algorithm for deciding this. *Much* easier, and this would suit almost everyone, would be the ability to input on the configuration screen the magnetic variation of the current location - typically the variation only varies slightly over several hundred miles so this would suffice. If you adopt this suggestion perhaps all headings would have a T appended to them if the parameter was 0 and M otherwise.

Thanks for a fine program.
