HUD Planet Grid Overlay

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Just a random Suggestion.
A lot of people(not me) find planetary navigation difficult, or just frustrating.

So I thought it'd be handy if you could toggle a HUD overlay over a planet, showing its grid, with guide numbers, which scales with distance. Kinda like the galaxy map grid, but wrapped around a planet.
How far down it will display is up for debate, as it'd probably quite useless at low altitude. Could just be a supercruise/orbital cruise option only.

That way, you'd know roughly which angle to approach the planet from, and can quickly find your rough coordinates.

The option would be on the functions tab, near the orbit lines option, as it's very similar.

Thoughts?

Great ideia. I personally will find this very appealing and useful.

I like this idea as well. Much like the latitude/longitude grid on a globe.

Navigation mark on the surface of the planet, with display coordinates - this should have been done a long time ago.
Alternative: coordinate input window (from the keyboard), with a button "set mark".

Now that is a great idea cmdr +1
I would find that feature very useful.

Woop, a good idea!

Had to happen eventually.

In the event someone didn't understand, I basically mean this, but with labels on the lines as you get closer, which adjust with distance.
