Hi,



One point that would be very interesting for rescuers that have to search for crashed airplanes by plotting the direction of their radio beacon is the abillity to plot a vector on the map.



I think that would take the forme of a particular waypoint, with a starting point (the position were you take the measure) and a line representing the  azimut of the signal. One would configure a default length for this line (say 10 to 30 km).



Maybe there's already a workaround for this application but I cannot find any tool suitable for this task in oruxmap.



Many thank's for all the great work on this excellent program.



Bernard.
