In-Development E.D.I.S.O.N - Orbital and surface navigation / Waypoints
- Thread starter Cmdr Maxine Slayton
- Start date
If people need a tool that will let them create planetary surface waypoints and routes and which can then direct them back to those waypoints via an on-screen directional indicator (which also works in VR) then can I recommend Crank Larson's SRV Tracker. It was created for SRV racing but works brilliantly for any purpose which requires surface routing and tracking.
Release - SRVTracker - Planetary GPS and Race Management (with VR support)
There seem to be quite a few trackers/waypoint locators available, but none of them quite fit my requirements, and certainly none of them offered full route planning and race management. So, I thought I could change that. SRVTracker is an extremely lightweight tracker (it monitors status.json...
n.b. latest version is 1.4 I think (not sure the forum thread is 100% up to date) - https://github.com/TheCrankLarson/SRVTracker/releases/
I may be silly, but I can't find the download link. It shows it has been deleted from DropboxHello Commanders,
I have created a tool, which helps with navigating to coordinates/waypoints.
01/08/2019: Version 5.1 beta available
Features:
Here is what it looks like (Notice the small overlay above the compass.):
- Guidance to planetary waypoints using an overlay and voice output.
- HUD overlay color is customizable.
- Automatically fetch planets radius from journal or EDSM.
- Choose between rhumb line or great circle navigation (constant bearing vs shortest path)
- Customizable hotkeys (Show/Hide E.D.I.S.O.N., Start/Stop navigation, Enable/Disable voice)
- Waypoint manager.
-Create waypoints and sort them into categories.
-Mark waypoints as visited.
-Calculate distance to Sol.
-Calculate distance to current position.
-Export waypoints as .csv file.
-Import waypoints from .csv files.
This is a detailed view of the HUD overlay in different states:
The arrow points in the direction you have to turn to reach your target, while it's length indicates how far you have to turn.
When you are on course 'O' is displayed.
The last part shows the descent mode. It is activated when you are near your target and shows to pitch angle you need to maintain.
The overlay can be moved around by clicking the text and dragging with the left mouse button.
Additionally E.D.I.S.O.N. can output navigation information using speech.
It produces messages like "Fly left heading 1 0 2. Distance to target 2200 kilometers".
And here is a link to the Elite Dangerous Codex:

You will find the download link there.
If you have questions, suggestions or need help, please reply to this thread.
You can also contact me on Discord: Ashragon#4435 or write a PM.
Fly safe!

Ooh. Does that mean you might make it work when on-foot? Cuz that would be amazing
And welcome back!
I tested out the 5.2 beta which now supports on-foot locations. I spent about 40 minutes with it so far, just on one planet.
This really helps with the Exobiology problem, which is that we have only 1 sample canister and if you're in the middle of scanning one type of plant, and you find another type, you can't scan the new type until you finish your 3 samples of the first type.
So I used E.D.I.S.O.N. to mark the location of a Bacterium, because I was in the middle of scanning Stratums when I found the Bacterium. When I was done with the Stratum, EDISON led me right back to the Bacterium so I could then scan it and continue on.
It worked quite well, and didn't seem to have any problems. I got in and out of the SRV a few times, and the navigation continued to be correct.
In this screenshot, EDISON is telling me that the bacterium is 356m away, at a bearing of 205 degrees, which is to my left. (The other popup is from BioInsights, not EDISON). This will be very handy indeed!

The 5.2 beta is a lifesaver for raw mat stuff! However, there's an annoying bug - it cannot recognize its own waypoints file on opening.
This is because it's saving with a ';' delimiter, instead of the ',' it expects on loading - thus I need to import (which allows to set another delimiter) every time I load the app.

That's indeed very useful!
Does anyone have a better list of Surface Waypoints than this one https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11E05a-hLGyOQ84B9dQUu0Z53ow1Xt-uqJ-xXJmtYq5A/edit#gid=0
Many thanks, Eid
Many thanks, Eid
Is it definitely 5.2?
I downloaded the 5.2 beta zip file, but when the executable is run it says 5.1 (beta) on the title bar. That said, I'm not having any issues with delimiters on loading...
I have this strong suspicion that locale shenanigans are at play... and some researching seems to indeed point on that direction.
It'd be probably better to ignore/override system language on write and always set as en-US.
Has anyone been able to get this to work via Linux WINE? Gave it a go today. My Steam Proton prefix wouldn't let me install VCrun2015 (says missing msxml2 even though I can clearly see it's there). Tried default WINE prefix as well (which already has VCrun2015) but it just errors ("An UA b...ccured" - sorry the title gets cut off and I can't expand the box). I've gotten a few ED tools including EDHM+UI and EDDiscovery to work via WINE no problem.

Having not used the app before, how does one "Mark the location?" and, can you mark more than one location at a time? Say - expanding on your example - you passed two more bacterium while you're still tracking down the Stratums?
I use EDMC with installed Cannon's plugin. It records coordinates of anything scanned by ship/car scanner, then you can click it and have bearing/distance to it.
And if you manage to run "linux overlay" then it can be shown over game screen.
I guess Edison has problems with overlay on Linux. It's really hard to make it there especially on multi-GPUs.
There are 3 temp locations that are one-click to setup and retrieve. And there is a complete bookmark system that allows you to create as many as you want.
For exo I just use the quick ones most of the time. I changed their names to Location 1, Location 2, and Location 3. When I see something I want to return to I put it into one of those quickslots. Then get it back out again when I'm ready to be navigated back to it.
I loved using it and works really well except for the waypoint manager, I tried putting the coordinates from places to gather raw materials and saved it in the same folder where the file "Edison waypoints" is (named the new file as "Raw Materials") but when I try to import it it just gives the following errors:
1- it says it misses a field named "Name" (even though it quite literally is the first cell in the file, "Name")
2-I tried again and it said something about Invalid data in row #2
I have no idea what causes this. I didn't change anything in the file, I just saved the coordinates I wrote using the waypoint manager, save it in the folder and that's it.
EDIT: I tried using ";" in delimiter and it said something aboult malformed number in row #5

In delimiter use "," and take a look at numbers in coordinates. They should be in form nn.nnnnn and not n.nnn.nnn (only one dot only behind up to three numbers in entire number)
