Hey Dynon - how about some sort of course indicators on the main PFD screen so that user's can keep the GPS screen closed (especially on the small 7"unit)?

Ideally I would envision a 3D flag showing the destination (and distance) on the synthetic vision (like the tower indicators) and a big left/right arrow pointing the way back to the course direction if you turned so far that the waypoint wasn't showing.

At the very least, even a simple highlighted arrow or even a "tick" on the background "compass" to show the direction to the waypoint would go along way!

This sounds exactly like the information you get on the HSI. Direction, left/right deviation, and distance. What is the advantage you see of it being shown on the PFD vs the HSI below the PFD?

Concur with Dynon, HSI works fine for course changes.

Enroute, upcoming towers, depicted in Synthetic Vision of PFD?

Towers are depicted on SynVis on the PFD if they are within 1,000' of your altitude.

Thank you.
Guess I've got some reading to do. :cool:
Moral of story, when in doubt . . . read the directions!
