Would it be possible to add GARS to show together with the coordinates?
Rationale: GARS covers the whole world, and thus should work good for new maps in DCS. The reason to use GARS is to have a killbox system, where we may have intelligence that enemy forces are located, then a flight can be tasked to a GARS box instead of a certain grid and have a AR mission there.
Furthermore it can be used to deconflict airspace between airspace users.
Simply it is a way of changing the 132nd killbox system into a system that would work over all new maps.
Should be easy enough to add as a layer to the map. I need to do some prototyping in order to see how best to adapt the displayed information in relation to the zoom level.
Note to self: Add the different degrees of detail to individual layers layered on-top of eachother. Mute layers based on zoom level.
