README

PinGPS-Ymiron

Turn any map pin into a GPS waypoint. Open the map, hold Ctrl and left-click a pin: from then on the pin's icon floats on screen over the real spot in the world, with its name and the distance, while you travel.

        [icon]
      Troll cave
        245 m

When the destination is out of view (to the side or behind you), the icon sticks to the edge of the screen with an arrow pointing towards it: just turn until it comes back into view.
Far away the icon sits on the horizon; once the terrain around the destination is loaded it floats a few meters above the ground at the exact spot.
The active pin pulses on the map and minimap.
When you get there (10 m by default) the GPS turns itself off with a sound and a "You have reached your destination" message.
Ctrl + click the same pin again to turn the GPS off; Ctrl + click another pin to switch destination. Deleting the pin (right click) also turns it off.
The destination is remembered per character and per world: log out and back in, and the GPS is still on.

Works with every saved pin: your own markers, boss pins from Vegvisirs, tombstones, Hildir's pins...

The file can be edited while the game is running: the mod reloads it on save. It also works from the Configuration Manager (F1), if installed.

Notes

The marker is hidden while the map, the inventory, the menu or any text box is open, and when the HUD is hidden.
Selecting a pin needs mouse and keyboard (Ctrl + click); with a gamepad the GPS still shows, but cannot be set.
Client side only: the mod applies to whoever installs it. It is not needed on the server.

Installation

Mod manager (r2modman / Thunderstore Mod Manager): Settings > Import local mod and pick the zip.
