G'day Dennis:

I have found VE3NEA's DX Atlas (http://www.dxatlas.com/) the best mapping program for
antenna planning, everyday operating use, and contesting. Not free, but well worth the
one-time $30 registration fee! It's shareware, and you can try it before you choose to
spend any money.

It will do what you want it to do by showing the bearing to any point interactively while
moving the cursor around a map of the World, In addition to providing an azimuthal view,
it will also provide a Globe view and a Rectangular view, showing the signal path in each.
Very handy!

I replaced my multiple, coveted, very-worn copies of DX Edge to use DX Atlas for greyline
map as well.
