I know a lot of people who use this program, but have problems with English. I think you should not be lazy and create support for other languages.Hello 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:

I think you should be grateful that some one made this helpful app and gives it away for free.
I think you should not be lazy and make your own.
No one asked him to publish this work here for free.
Problems with English is nothing. Problems with manners, on the other hand...
Thats right. I was typing a reply to him but found myself overusing the
emoji.Are you saying that if I called a person lazy, I have a problem with manners?
I'm saying you are way out of line calling a 3rd party developer lazy, when they offer their free services to the community. You are rude, ignorant and I'm happy to extend the favour.
Just a thought, why not offer your services (for free) to help translate the program to whatever language you don't struggle with.
You stole my comeback, cmdr! Well done!
At this point I would like to extend a big huge THANK YOU to @Cmdr Maxine Slayton for this excellent tool. It is easy to "install" (requiring no installation at all), easy to use and precise. After the transition to 4.0 and bio-signals no longer registering on the scanner, I thought I would be done with material farming for good. Now thanks to your tool, it works like a charm (using coordinates shared by other gems of CMDRs on the interwebs). Just awesome. Thanks a lot! =)
Hey, where do you get those coords of shared material farms?
Is it ok to just overwrite the previous versions?Hello Commanders,

The latest version is not showing the actual version that it is
Additionally, Unknown is spelt wrong.

Looks like we can import destinations. Would be great to have a Discord Server where pilots can post their waypoints for us to download and use.
Also waiting for a How-To video with the new code.
