So I have a mission to get a occupied escape pod on the surface so I land in these blue circles that I find but I dont really know if I do land in them as they disappear when you get closer to the ground and when I get into my srv I go around looking at this scanner which I dont really know how to use :S and follow the markers on it but every time I get close or something like that it disappear or I just find stupid rocks so I dont know how to find the occupied escape pod can someone please tell me how I can complete this mission?
 
I believe I have just figured this out myself. Minerals & synthesis ingredients create contacts low down the scanner. Man-made objects (salvage items) seem to create contacts at 75% up the height of the scanner. Look for 'thin vertical fingers' and follow, follow them until they resolve. Do not be surprised if you have to travel 8-15km out to find mission objectives.

You may also come across mining installations this way -- which often draw the eye off in the distance because they are illuminated.

But everytime I follow the high onces they disappear after a while and then they are lost
 
It is my understanding the hills / ground interfere with your readings. So as you drive along and hit valleys and bounce and go into hollows signals weaken and then reappear again. Persevere with it and hopefully you will get lucky.
