On the per-boxs settings page you can choose the type of rose. "Close Haul" gives you the nonlinear display. If you choose "Auto" it will switch if the needle transitions over 60 degrees for more than the "Auto Switch Delay". You can also choose to have a button to manually lock it in one or the other displays. This appears as a "Lock" icon that cycles through the options.

As for the name... When working for a big software company we had a presentation from the lawyers. Their only real advice was "just call it what it is so you can't be caught with a trademark infringement!" and that's always stuck with me😁

Didn't think I'd use it, as we've a cruising yacht, but I've actually found it quite good. So I've taken to using it in auto mode.

@Aswin we have a similar situation where we have 2 GPSes and get duplicate paths. The source priorities allows the user to select which will usually be used and also allow the other one as a fallback.

Would you be able to use "Source Priorities" for this? Or do they only work for external sources and not values produced by plugins?

I've ended up with a similar display and do have a track working, so this might help. Although just revisiting the code it's not particularly nice and I'm missing comments explaining what's being done☹️ https://github.com/philseeley/boatinstrument/blob/d04e638cea1d021d1fd14c7bd2bf253f925db125/lib/widgets/anchor_box.dart

smoothing of apparent wind data
Also if you're dealing with wind angles, I do a similar thing but using vectors: https://github.com/philseeley/boatinstrument/blob/964c128049901ecabe7d1079f2bd8789fddacaf2/lib/data.dart#L7

smoothing of apparent wind data
Not sure if this will work for you, but if you can store the last displayed value, you can do a simple weighted average with the new value. I've used this in my instrument code: https://github.com/philseeley/boatinstrument/blob/964c128049901ecabe7d1079f2bd8789fddacaf2/lib/data.dart#L18
