GPS and Waypoints

Description
Galactic Positioning System And Personal Waypoints


This mod tracks your position in the world, and gives you your coordinates depending on your position. The coordinates are displayed at the top of your screen.

This mod also allows you to add personal waypoints based on the coordinates displayed at the top. These waypoints are only viewable by yourself and are displayed on your HUD as well as in space by a glowing orb.

All waypoint commands are done in chat using the commands:
/wp or /waypoint

To add a waypoint:
/wp add "name" "text on hud" Neutral or Enemy or Allied X Y Z - This is the full version
/wp add "name" - This is a helper version. Adds a waypoint at your current location as "name"
/wp add "name" "text" Neutral or Enemy or Allied X Y Z GroupName - This adds a waypoint and assigns it to the group "GroupName"

* Allied waypoints are blue, enemy are red, and neutral are green.

Example:
/wp add MyWaypoint MyWaypoint Neutral 0 0 0 - This adds a green waypoint at 0 0 0
/wp add Hostile "Hostile Target" Enemy 10000 0 0 - This adds a red enemy waypoint at 10000 0 0
/wp add Currently - This adds a green waypoint at your current location
/wp add Asteroid Asteroid Neutral 5020 1020 30001 Asteroids - This adds a neutral waypoint named asteroid and adds it to the asteroids group

To remove a waypoint:
/wp remove "name"

To list your waypoints:
/wp list

To toggle waypoints off and on:
/wp toggle

To change GPS mode from normal to short or off:
/wp position

New Group functions:
To add a waypoint to a group:
/wp groupadd "name" "group name"

To remove a waypoint from a group:
/wp groupremove "name"

To toggle visibility of a group:
/wp toggle "group name"

Changelog:
v0.1.0.4 - Added the ability to group waypoints. Grouped waypoints can be toggled on and off using the toggle command (while keeping other waypoints visible).
- /wp list now lists the waypoints in a dialog with a scroll bar, in case the list is long.
v0.1.0.3 - Fixed issue with waypoints saving and returning solid. You may now save and exit while sitting on a waypoint and not worry about being destroyed.
v0.1.0.2 - Added the ability to toggle waypoints off and on with /wp toggle
- Added the ability to shorten the header with /wp position
v0.1.0.1 - Added a shortcut version for /wp add
v0.1.0.0 - Initial release

@KravyIvanUS...... its been implemented into the main game

I have Text HUD API installed into my server, but cannot get any of the mods to work including this one. Is this MOD still supported with current game patch?

This sounds like it should be marked as old cause most of these features are built into the game.

I'm having a CTD problem when this is enabled. (even as the only mod) any ideas?

I know keen has their own GPS but this seems to be the only mod that ever showed your current GPS on the hud. Is that still possible? I'd love it if I could get a GPS readout in with the other stats on the lower left.
