help with rover repair mission

[farmerben]

The mission is to add a part to a rover and move it to a waypoint on Ike.  I'm having trouble navigating close to the rover and finding the waypoint.  The map view on maximum zoom is my best navigation tool but it;s not accurate enough.  I remember on an older version of the game I had yellow rectangles highlighting my target in camera mode, but that doesn't happen now.  

 

What do you do to make these missions easier?

When one gets within 100 k of the target it appears visually.  Then it is a matter of landing as close as possible to it.  My memory says to right click on the waypoint to activate it.

You could use either Waypoint Manager or NavHud, both of which allow putting waypoints on the main screen.

go on map view. you should see the waypoint on ike. you can select it as target. now you will always see the waypoint on your navball, showing its direction.

you may face additoonal problems if you don't have your rover driving properly set. if you are normally standing on the ground and you see the navisphere is pointing up, then it's not properly set up; click on the probe core and you should find an option for control pointing forward. so that when you move, navisphere is pointing prograde. then just point towards your target

That mission expired a failure but I had better luck on Minimus.

Try to hover over the rover at about 500m.  The purple cursor on the navball is what im going by, trying to push it toward pure vertical.

Clicking on the blue square in map view adds it to the navball, a must for navigating to the zone.
