Compass Routes QGIS 4 compatibility
Not QGIS 4 ready Quiet
Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.
This plugin creates vector layers that work with magnetic variation.
About
Commands in this plugin are available under Plugins > Compass Routes: "Create Compass Route Layer": adds a new LineString layer with memory storage rendering as arrows that are automatically labeled with distance and magnetic bearing. The variation for each label is dynamically determined. "Create Magnetic North Lines": processing script that adds a vector layer containing magnetic north lines within a given extent. Lines are spaced by a given distance, and are broken and re-spaced to preserve this distance within an error tolerance. For full documentation please see the project homepage.
