Need a Compass to be displayed on every DJI drones OSD.  There should be an option to show 3 different options for the compass.

1. N NE E SE S etc.
2. A compass bar with say N--NW--W--SW--S-- etc. so people can tell which direction they need to turn rather than guess then switch back if wrong.
3. A compass bar like N--NW--W--SW--S-- but in the middle the actual bearing in degrees.

As we know there is no Map on the DJI FPV to follow so if we know a POI is North we can head there instead of trying to deadrecokining with landmarks.  I wanted to look South to see where the weather clouds are from the air.  Even living in the area for a long time I'm still uncertain where South is exactly.  It should be known instantly w/ no mental math.

Seems a fair and useful request to me.

I can't see that a compass would help me ...

The symbol "H" shows me very clearly where I started from, that helps me much more in the air than a compass information ...

Not just for locating Home but when you want to search the area and know say a landmark is NW or a waterfall.  If you start flying the opposite direction you lose battery.

If you mean the direction display in the fly app (for example on the Mavic Mini or MA2 controller display), it would also be very helpful for the FPV drone!  
There you can see the directory of the drone - relative to your own location.  
The direction "north" is also displayed, relative to the direction of flight ...
A rough display of the direction of flight, however (N, E, NE, SE, ...) is not useful ...

That's why it's better if it were to be a bar somewhere.
