v:0.33 (1.144 compatible)
In-game script by MMaster


Records GPS Waypoints to LCD or Text Panel to make it easy to make Autopilot Waypoints.
Allows automatic recording as you move as well as manual.

Open control panel of LCD/Text Panel and click Edit Public Text to add the waypoints to your GPS.
You just need to 'Show on HUD' in GPS screen if you want to see them.

If you like this script, please give it positive rating, if you don't like it then please
let me know why so I can improve it & learn what I did wrong.

• Gets position from first found of the following (in order): remote control, cockpit
  
• You can override the position source block by adding "SOURCE:Name Of Block" to programmable block name.
  
• Supports 3 actions entered to Programmable Block Run Argument (without quotes):
  
• "add PREFIX" - adds current GPS coordinates with PREFIX in name of waypoint
  
• "undo" - removes last added waypoint
  
• "reset" - clears the LCD / text panel

I notify about updates in steam group & twitter so follow if interested.

1. Load this script to programmable block
2. Make LCD or Text panel and add RECORD to the name of it
* eg: Text Panel 1 RECORD
3. Run the programmable block with argument "add Test" (without quotes)
* this will add waypoint with name "Test Waypoint 001" to the LCD
4. Each time you run the script with "add Test" argument new waypoint will be added
* new waypoint is always on top so you can see as waypoints are added
5. You can run it with argument "undo" (without quotes)
* this will remove last added waypoint
6. If you run it with argument "reset" (without quotes)
* it will clear the LCD / Text panel
7. You can add all those actions to toolbar in cockpit or remote
8. Build timer block, set it to 5 seconds
9. Setup timer block actions:
* 1. Run program block
* This will automatically add basic waypoint. Arguments do not work for Timer blocks (even tho they ask for it).
* You can override prefix by adding "PREFIX:My Prefix" to name of programmable block. (eg. Prog 1 PREFIX:Test)
* 2. Start timer
10. Put timer start action and timer stop action to your toolbar
* this will allow you to start & stop automatic recording each 5 seconds
11. Open control panel of LCD or Text Panel and click Edit Public Text to add the waypoints to your GPS.

When you open the Public Text the waypoints will be automatically added to your GPS.
You just need to 'Show on HUD' in GPS screen if you want to see them.

- add waypoint X meters in front of you
- use ship orientation to triangulate position based on 2 or more waypoints
- possibly use collected waypoints for calculations like finding center, .. (?)
Note: these are just thoughts, not sure if I will add all of them
