Space Engineers Navigation (title is TBD)

Show a map of GPS coordinates on a chosen LCD Panel or Cockpit.

How To

• build an LCD panel or a cockpit on the same grid as this script
• include GPS-Map into name of an LCD Panel or Cockpit
• put list of GPS coordinates into Custom Data of such LCD Panel or Cockpit. Format of GPS marks is the same when you use "Copy to Clipboard" on GPS tab

Multiple maps

The script supports multiple panels and cockpits, so your grid cana have multiple panels with different list of coordinates to track

Configuration of a programmable block

Open CustomData of a programmable block for general settings of the script. The script will prepopulate CustomData with all available options and their default settings.

• PanelNameContains - part of name of a LCD Panel or cockpit to render map on it
• SearchLocalGridOnly - whether the script should look for compatible panels and cockpits only in this grid, or in attached drids as well (through connectors, hinges, etc)

Configuration of a map

Open CustomData of a LCD panel or cockpit for map related settings. The script will prepopulate CustomData with all available options and their default settings.

• DetectionDistance - set radius of the map on this screen to the specified value
• ScreenNumber - number of a screen in this cockpit to use to show the map. Count starts from 0. (available only in Cokpit kind of blocks)

Adding GPS marks to a map

To add GPS marks to a map, open Custom Data of an LCD panel or cockpit where a map should be shown and put GPS marks in the very end of the data. Example

GPS:Base:12345.67:23456.78:34567.89:
GPS:Mining Site Alpha:11111.22:22222.33:33333.44:This is the primary mining site.
GPS:Ore Deposit Beta:98765.43:87654.32:76543.21:Large iron deposit.
GPS:Wreckage:54321.12:43210.23:32109.34:Abandoned ship wreckage.

Note, the format of each mark is the same as when you click "Copy to clipboard" in the GPS tab of you interface. So just copy-paste all marks you would like to track on a map.

Note 2, don't forget, this list is individual to each screen. So you can display different list of marks on different screens

Limitations

• LCD Panel shouold be placed vertically. Back of the panel gonna represent "forward" of a surface, where listed coordinates are progected
