Thanks.

Yes thats fine Grizzly go ahead

I really like this locator. Is it OK to use this in an uploaded creation of mine with proper credits??

Thank you, much appreciated!

yes Kahrstrom go ahead

Are you ok with me using a modified version (re-skinned to fit my other displays and added a loading screen and night mode) of this in a vehicle I upload to the workshop?

Added to my first boat and seems to work pretty well testing with a handheld transponder dropped at the dock before I head out. Two small issues, one which was easy to fix editing the script:

1. "loose" is probably not the correct word here (as in "my pants are too loose"). I changed mine to "GAIN" and "LOSS" as in "GAIN" on signal, "LOSS" on signal.

2. Even when moving directly toward or directly away from the transponder at speed (approx 40 knots), the screen flops between signal GAIN and LOSS, although it does tend toward the correct reading. However, it switches back and forth frequently enough that it is somewhat difficult to tell if you are gaining or or losing the signal until the distance itself changes. I wonder if something could be changed in the script?

If a beacon locator is not connected or not turned on, it might get stuck on <400m. Make sure beacon locator is always on, its power usage is close to 0

but how do you make it start scaning

That means there is a beacon less than 400 meters away, that is if its hooked up correctly
