Just tried to identify the site of a recent
meteorite
impact using Guide's
earth maps in eclipse mode. I found it very
convenient to see the
distance in kilometers and the position angle when
dragging the right mouse button. However it is
extremely
confusing that the PA is displayed
as if it was a sky map - to convert it into a
compass course or azimuth angle one has to
compute (360 - PA).

This is not precisely a bug, but a confusing
feature. It would be nice (and probably easy
to do) if Guide would display 360-PA on EARTH
MAPS.
