VOR airway bearings

[intipacha 0]

Is it possible to see bearings of airways that are inbound/outbound on a VOR? The way it's usually denoted in enroute charts.

I'm trying to fly my plan with radio navigation only, so I need bearings from fixes to nearby VOR stations. I also have not found a way to see bearing between two waypoints on a map. (in my case a flight plan fix and a nearby VOR). Sure, I can right click -> measure distance from a waypoint, but then the other point is wherever my cursor is - I can't set it precisely to another waypoint. Manual pinpointing is really not very precise, especially when the 2 waypoints are a bit farther apart.
Any help will be appreciated.

Already done if the radio navaid is a part of the flight plan. Legs from and to VOR use VOR declination to calculate magnetic course. https://www.littlenavmap.org/manuals/littlenavmap/release/2.6/en/FLIGHTPLAN.html#magnetic-declination

Manual pinpointing can be very precise if you zoom in when placing the line. Use the wheel or + / - key while placing the end.

OK, thanks.

What I'd really love to have is something like the right attached image. The left one is how it currently looks in LNM.
It would allow me to easily read off the radial I need to intercept when inbound on a nearby fix, without having to manually measure.

I see. I could add the bearings as an option to the airway display but I'm afraid to clutter up the map even more than it is right now. I took note of this in my internal list. Have to see when.

Yes, I understand it would potentially clutter up. Maybe add it as an optional map feature?
In any case, thanks so much for taking note!

LNM is great! Cheers!

You can use use my method - I don't look at map view but directly read needed radials in flight plan window - look at  Magnetic Course column.
Of course, it's necessary check magnetic course in the next point after the given VOR because this MC field  is always as course TO point (not course FROM point).

I hope it helps you 🙂
