Show latitude/longitude of contract locations on map view


Recommended Posts

You get a contract for "take surface sample at Heinrick's Folly Beta", and when you hover the mouse over the spot, you can't see any data about its location. It would be very handy if you could. If I could see that my own rover is at 20o12'2" S, 45o0'41" E, and the target location is at 20o11'0" S, 45o0'44" E, then I know that I need to go nearly due north to hit the spot. As it is once you get close it's hard to tell exactly which way you need to drive to get there.

If this is a thing that a later tracking station upgrade gives you that I just haven't unlocked yet, then never mind.

As someone who's never fully understood the lon/lat system, just looking at those numbers does not tell me much at all :P Also the navball can tell you what direction it is; activate navigation on the target and you get a nice little marker on the navball that you can follow. If you don't know what direction it is, you can check the map for a rough estimate, seeing as the navball tells you what direction you're currently facing. :)

It would be nice to have something like this for EVA though.
