GPS Direction Guide

Description
Description
This is a design based upon Tajin's old GPS tracker. Full credit goes to him for that one. This tracker can be used with waypoints or simply by entering co-ordinates into the keyboard and activating the pointer. It can also be added into any vehicle and I will explain how.

Includes
A pretty neat system that will allow you to look at any location you want. I improved on Tajin's old design by increasing the range to near infinite and using the new keyboard part to allow you to use waypoints to position the pointer. To use it all you need to do is input values into the keyboard, manually or with a waypoint, and it will point the way (while the button is active).

Implementation
The system can easily be implemented into a ship by decreasing the proportional gain in the PID, and hooking it up to a rudder instead of a turny boi. I included the button because in a real creation u don't want it to automatically point the same way all the time. A pretty nifty system, anyone* can use it and it's really quite cool to watch.

*Assuming you know a little about logic.

Oh wait, I just realised, stormworks has a new system that only allows for numbers up to 1 million which is 1000 squared so thats why that happens

may be because u have the render distance set very low and the waypoint isn't actually sensed, but it should still se it so idk

Will try decreasing the pid power. If i enter a location above 1000 units away, literally just nothing happens, it just wont find it or move. It may actually be because my computer is an actual toaster, since this happens on every kind of GPS iv downloaded.

for me it works at any distance, you may need to simple decrease the power of the pid. Also what exactly happens?

For me, it only can point to stuff thats less than 1000 units away. Iv had similar problems on other things, it seems that gps can only go to 1000 units before they just kinda dont work? do you know why
