To ensure your navigation map aligns perfectly with your ship's forward direction, first, make sure you have a main cockpit or remote control assigned to your grid.


Once that's set, simply navigate to the Navigation Screen's terminal, enable "Edit Chevron" mode,


and press the "Align to Main Cockpit" button.


You can also add this button to your block's toolbar for quick access. If no main cockpit is found, a warning will appear, so always assign one for the best results!

To use the zoom and pan features on the Navigation Screen, you must be looking directly at the screen in-game (the mod checks if your camera is facing the block). The following keybinds are available when zoom/pan is enabled:


Usage Notes:

• You must be looking at the navigation screen block for these keybinds to work.
  
• Zoom and pan are only available if "Enable Zoom and Pan" is turned on in the block's terminal.
  
• Panning wraps around at ±180° for both latitude and longitude.
  
• All changes are immediately visible on the screen.

Tip:
You can also adjust zoom and pan using the block's terminal sliders if you prefer a UI-based approach.

The Navigation Screen mod adds a customizable navigation map to supported blocks (such as text panels) in Space Engineers. It provides map zoom, panning, and a configurable "chevron" marker to help with orientation and navigation. All controls are available via the block's terminal UI.

1. Open the terminal of a block that supports the Navigation Screen (custom blocks that come with this mod).
   
2. Look for the Navigation Map section in the terminal.
