peer agreement (net): +1device for defining direction Explanation: The device in this case defines the direction in which the vehicle is travelling/pointing. The literal translation of "cap" is "heading", but that is only really used in navigation (boats and aircraft). So by analogy, I'd say "direction" works in this context. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2020-04-24 12:15:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I don't think you can use heading for a motor vehicle, which is what this seems to be. Heading is normally given as degrees on a compass, which is useful for a ship or an aeroplane, but not for a car. |
