Outdoor specific tools ideas #8197

All of those ideas are covered in other issues already.

Except the following which seem very niche: "including area calculation, coordinates derivation by offset (enabling users to select a location, specify distance and direction, and generate coordinates), selection of various compass types (magnetic, true, grid), radius, and dynamic routing."

It'd be helpful to describe them in more detail and include real use cases.

Maybe it could be added (in a non-intrusive way) into the current "pseudo-compass" view activated by a blue direction arrow press (after selection of destination point/POI).

Other tools mentioned seem like highly specialized / niche and probably don't justify complicating UI/UX and implementation effort.
