Planetary compass + coordinates calculator

Description
Planetary coordinates and compass tool.

This little solar-powered plane will help you to find planet center, your altitude (above center of the planet), latitude and longitude.
Also, it provides you with compass, showing your bearing on planet.

How to use:
Press "1" to start calculation of planet center and fly horizontaly for 5-10 seconds.
Press "2" to stop script
Press "3" to stop planet center recalculation and continue only bearing and planetary coordinates calculation.

You can place this tool on rover, mining ship or satellite.
You need to place these blocks:

block___________ name________________settings

Timer___________"TimerClock" _________ trigger Programmable block
Program block____"Programmable block" ___copy script there
Remote Control___"RemCon"
Text Panel______ "TP" _________________set font size to 1.3, select "show public text" option

The only thing, you should keep in mind, script works only in gravity range.

I can't seem to get this to work. When I check the code I get several error referring to the IMyTextPanel.

Pennywise, на spaceengineers.ru управление кривое - кликаю на проекты и перекидывает на главную. поиск не выдает результат по слову "Planetary compass", в фильтре нет раздела "скрипты" и сам фильтр не понятно как работает - при выборе критериев в выпадающем меню не обновляется страница.
