Draw Bearing - Angle appears twice #143

Open MikeOlkinSwsc opened 5 years ago

MikeOlkinSwsc commented 5 years ago

The angle appears twice when a bearing is drawn. In this example, I think that the intended bearing is N 42 E: gpvbearingoddnotation

This is actually the correct behavior. The first one is degrees azimuth from north. The second is degrees within the quadrant. Move the end point around the start point and you'll see the difference. This behavior can be changed if people feel it's confusing. If so, please suggest the alternative.

Ah, I see now! I didn't realize that it was representing the angle in two different types of units. I should have tried some measurements that weren't in the northeast quadrant.

I think that its great the way that it is, now that I understand it.
