Camera Compass Direction

[fishcharlie]

I notice that pictures taken with the Mavic Air 2 include GPS data in the image metadata. However, I can't find any information in the metadata about the compass direction of the photo.

So two questions:

1. Is there a way to view the compass direction of a given photo? Or is it included in the metadata and I'm just missing it?
2. Is there a way to manually enter a specific compass direction and have the Mavic Air 2 rotate to that compass direction?

1. It's there in the metadata, but you need a metadata viewer that gives you all the metadata (most don't).
It's in the XMP section of the metadata.
What you are looking for is labelled Gimbal Yaw Degree.

2. No but you can find a point on the horizon that's on the bearing you want and fly towards that.

What app are these screen shots taken from ? It looks well-done and I'd like to check it out.
