Hi @Zamzam,
Tether turns can be viewed using the [Very Generic Indicator](https://blueos.cloud/cockpit/docs/latest/usage/advanced/#very-generic-indicators) mini-widget - there’s even a built in preset for it 🙂
To add one,
1. Use the [sidebar menu](https://blueos.cloud/cockpit/docs/latest/usage/advanced/#sidebar-menu) to open [Edit Mode](https://blueos.cloud/cockpit/docs/latest/usage/advanced/#edit-mode)
2. Select “mini-widget” in the “Widget type” dropdown in the bottom section
3. Scroll over to find the Very Generic Indicator option, with the question mark icon
4. Click and drag it onto your View’s top or bottom bar, or some form of [container widget](https://blueos.cloud/cockpit/docs/latest/usage/advanced/#container-widgets)
5. Select the “Tether turns” preset on the window that opens up

Thanks

I’ve just tried it and found [it seems to have some incorrect defaults](https://github.com/bluerobotics/cockpit/pull/1878). It worked well for me when I edited it (by clicking the cog beside the widget name in the left sidebar on edit mode, or just by right-clicking the widget in normal mode and clicking “options”), and changed the multiplier from 100 to 1:
The decimal places you can set to 0 if you just want integers, or 2 if you want to track quarter turns (which I’ve just submitted [a firmware pull request to enable](https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/30011)).

If that doesn’t help, please check that you’ve calibrated your sensors (especially the compasses), and if you’re still having issues please specify which ArduSub version and flight controller board type you’re using.
