<div dir="ltr">Richard,<div><br></div><div>The Shape Tools plugin has a <a href="https://github.com/NationalSecurityAgency/qgis-shapetools-plugin#--geodesic-measure-tool">geodesic measure tool</a> that in addition to distance, displays the bearing to and bearing from two points. Right now it just displays in decimal degrees, but it wouldn't be difficult to add a setting option to display in a DMS format. Give it a try and let me know whether you think it would be helpful to include a DMS format.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Calvin</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Nov 2, 2021 at 9:56 AM Richard Greenwood <<a href="mailto:richard.greenwood@gmail.com">richard.greenwood@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Is it possible for a user to add a format to the new bearing tool in 3.22?
