Auto Credit Based on QarabinaKa's Integrating GPS
This is an MFD program for a GPS, including a waypoint save capability, map view, and a window to show the satellites that it's connected to. Both the map and the option to save your current location as a waypoint are dependent on the satellite system for accuracy.
NOTE: The MFD detects satellites in orbit around the planet with "GPS" in the name, that are above the horizon. It requires a minimum of 4 satellites to get a decent position, and adding more increases the accuracy.
A future version is planned, with the ability to save and view a track, and allow certain loops to run in the background when you leave their respective view.

I made this to give people incentive to place satellite systems into orbit.
You just made satellites useful, Hope we would be able to make radio transmission and telemetry in future update
@QarabinaKa
The satellites with the name GPS in all caps without a period orbit droo at agl 98k-93k. What altitude does it need to be at
@Loganswar425
No, do not add the punctuation. It must be GPS in all caps somewhere in the name. And it will only pick up satellites over the horizon, and then requires 4 to get a position.
@QarabinaKa
I put GPS in the name but it didn’t work still do is it need to be ‘GPS’ with the ‘ in the name? Im using the simplecargo and I put a program in the craft that auto launches it and puts it into orbit and renamed it to GPS and saved the craft
@Loganswar425
It needs satellites with 'GPS' in the name above it for accuracy. Otherwise 'current' saves your current position, and 'co-ords' saves manually imputed co-ordinates.
How do I get it to work then? Because I have two satellites in orbit @QarabinaKa
@notsorry
Yes, I ran into a problem initially getting the waypoint view to work XD
@Loganswar425 may be that was a different craft but there was a little discussion thingy on discord
What do u mean by rounding glitch @notsorry
ahh yes i remember the rounding glitch for this craft
What craft do I use for the satellites
One more step closer to KSP. Great work and I can't wait to see that day when simplerockets2 include singnal, life support and weather, and maybe more. It's my dream.
woah 😳
@Tweedle_Aerospace
Sure, go ahead
@QarabinaKa maybe
@QarabinaKa can I make a sandbox for this?
@Vedhaspace
Glad you like it. I suppose I should've used "Accuracy" instead of "Error"
@Arstotzka oh ok
what means error 5m?
still
wow!
@QarabinaKa thanks i will be using for my commercial rocket, sats xd
@Arstotzka @Vedhaspace
Go ahead
wow can i use this?
Very cool!
