Summary	0002868: Compass display erratic.
Description	Hi Patrick, Minor issue, I tried the compass display and it seems erratic not pointing in the correct direction. Occasionally, depending on the field of view it seems to function as I would expect. Change the field of view and it starts pointing erratically again. Cheers Rob
Steps To Reproduce	Just run CDC normally.

If the chart is near the pole it can jump rapidly. The way to check it point in the right direction is to display the equatorial grid, see the attached screenshot with grid and the two available compass. compass1.png (5,634 bytes) compass1.png (5,634 bytes) compass2.png (12,519 bytes) compass2.png (12,519 bytes)
