Hopefully this doesn't sound like a stupid question, but I need a crash course on how to use the Coordinates when navigating to a specific surface location. This is one aspect of the game that I have never taken the time to learn, and now with these cool new surface features, AND this cool thread, the time has come to finally figure this out! (and Thanks guys! For putting this growing collection together!)
Basically... What is the most efficient way to navigate using supplied coordinates like the ones you guys are providing here? It doesn't appear that the ship has any way of navigating to specific coordinates. I mean, you can't punch in a LAT/LONG and tell the ship to go there.
I should preface my ignorance on this topic by stating that I was initially put off from learning how to navigate using Coordinates when they were originally backwards on the scanner display or otherwise screwed up and difficult or impossible to use for finding a specific surface location using any method.
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I saw that video from yesterday's Elite Meet showing the new geysers in action. If you guys haven't checked that out yet, you are in for a treat! These were spectacular examples of this new feature! This video prepared and shown by Frontier even shows an SRV driving up to, and then driving right over one of these spewing geysers and immediately upon centering over the vent, the SRV literally takes off like a rocket straight up into the air! This particular vent had so much force that it managed to lift the SRV several hundred feet into the air! They showed this scene both from the SRV cockpit perspective as well as from a remote camera. It was awesome!
I am not sure where those particular geysers were located, but boy oh boy! The more active examples of these things are going to be amazing to see in person AND to play around with!
