I do not understand. If you mean TO/FROM indicator it is present on compass.

Have a good time! It would be good that the application has a window that shows the lateral deviation. i mean, for example, an arrow with numbers for indication the side and lateral distance

I still do not understand :-)

If you mean look at XTK (Menu/App settings/Customize screen)- cross track distance - cross distance from track or route.

It's not a request for a to/from indicator mate. When flying towards a beacon you would use the head of the needle on the HSI to maintain a radial inbound. When tracking away from a beacon you would use the tail of the needle to maintain a radial outbound. The blue needle on your HSI only has a head and so can be used for tracking towards the waypoint only. Can you put a tail on the blue needle mate, hope I've managed to explain better

I think droopstop refers to what I show you on attached image. See these other examples:

Well done Breitling the HSI picture explained it very well. I've just seen the update and the needle tail is brilliant Petr, many thanks mate
