Altitude - GPS and Altitude display

Description
About

This mod adds a draggable, resizable and toggleable window that displays GPS and altitude information. The base variant of the mod also adds a handheld GPS item to see data on-foot.

There are 2 variants of the mod included, 'Altitude' and 'Altitude - no vehicle needed'. Only enable one of these variants.

'No vehicle needed' variant displays GPS and altitude data always without requiring being in a vehicle or having the handheld GPS item equipped. For this reason the handheld GPS item is only included in the normal variant.

Ways to see GPS data in normal variant of the mod:
  • Be in a vehicle (helicopters additionally show altitude info)
    or
  • Find handheld GPS device, equip in primary/secondary and power on device

Showing altitude data in helicopters: supports 'Better helicopter', 'UH-60 Black Hawk', and any other mod that has vehicle with full name that includes 'helicopter'.

Key bind for GPS window: defaults to Y. If you have 'Mod Options' installed you can change the keybind - find the 'Altitude GPS Window Toggle' option under the 'UI' section in Key Bindings in Options.


Updates
1.2.0 update: added handheld GPS item which will display coordinates on-foot when equipped and powered on. Can still see GPS data in vehicles without this item equipped.

Also added:
  • Support for showing altitude data for 'UH-60 Black Hawk mod'
  • Support for showing altitude data for any mods that have vehicles with 'helicopter' in the vehicle's full name
  • Resizing GPS window now wraps text to fit with window

1.1.0 update: added rebind option for key to toggle GPS window - this requires the mod 'Mod Options' - if this is not used it will default to using 'Y' as the key. To change the keybind if you have Mod Options enabled, find the 'Altitude GPS Window Toggle' option under the 'UI' section in Key Bindings in Options.

Known issues/To be fixed:

  • Closing the GPS window with the cross at the top of the window will mean you have to double tap the bound key (default Y) to open it again

Planned Features:

  • Add altimeter item to the game to see altitude data on foot
  • Add ability to install GPS devices and altitude meter devices to vehicles
  • Add functioning graphical altitude display, rather than just altitude data as text

Feedback

Please provide any suggestions for improvements to this mod in the comments/discussions, it is much appreciated.

Good mod, a mod to add location coordinates on the map would be nice
