Ore Collection

[WanderingKid]

Alright, help me out folks? I appear to be missing something that I guess should be obvious... but isn't.

So, Ore, there's three stages of data collection.

1) Stick the big antenna in space.

2) Go over the surface with the little antenna, manually checking areas you'd like to land for lat/long (which you have NO idea of where you are via in game controls...)

3) Go hit a biome with the little guy (landed or below 1000m) for a more discreet amount of information.

So, now you've got your big old drill truck and you're trying to go somewhere just *tasty!* to drill up some ore at. You have no idea where you're going because unless you've got the big old satellite array ON that vehicle, you can't see the overlay.

You can't turn on the overlay in map view unless you've activated it on your ship... or you're in the Tracking Station, so you're probably not quite sure where to use your Narrow Band scanner.

Other than 'eyeballing it' from one ship and landing in another, is there some way to mark a target area/position for ore collection?
