Label compass with magnetic vs true

Open gdt opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I know that there is a setting for magnetic vs true, but I returned to Trail Sense after long enough that I didn't remember how I had set it. It would be nice if the compass readout showed "335\deg T NW" or "335\deg M NW" depending on the option.

Good idea - I'll experiment with the text / icon to see what works best.

Also add this badge to the bearing input view

Maybe show an icon (magnet vs globe), when tapped shows that it is magnetic or True North.

I don't think abbreviations will work (would be confusing and not great for localization), and the text is too long to show by itself.

Magnet vs globe makes sense. The UI style of an icon and then a help method to get a proper, not contrained to be too short, localized text sounds great to me.

Tasks:

  • [x] Show north reference on navigation tool
  • [x] Show north reference on bearing input view
  • [x] When north reference is clicked on the navigation tool, show a dialog about what is being used and link to settings to change it
