Better orientation control about sexytopo

Wouldn't you just keep the device in Auto mode and just rotate it physically if this is your workflow?

[AndrewAkinson]

Not convinced, auto rotate will not do what you want in some circumstances, often I have been surveying with the device in random positions, as it is the only place I can reach it, then the auto rotate would get very upset. Andrew

Not sure I want to use the valuable real estate on the top bar for orientation. Also technical issues. Would separate controls in settings for overriding orientation on plan / EE suffice?

[AndrewAkinson]

I can see the real estate issue. That said, the plan should really have a north arrow, so grabbing the point and moving it, might be an option, maybe with 8 fixed points, not sure how that would work if there is clever algorithms to detect pen angle.

Yes I think that controls in settings would work, certainly do for now, the one above is far further down the development list.
