As I was approaching VOR ISD .. ... -.. 112.8 in South Dakota, I noticed that my instruments said I was going away from it while the map and my GPS clearly showed me going toward it.

Is this a bug?

Did your VOR1 OBS Bug/Course setting match the 'to' heading?

If its more than 90* off it will show as 'from'.

You mean the bug in the compass...?

I fly VOR without flight planner (more interesting that way)
