I've started basic GPS support under in /instrumentation/gps/. Right now, the GPS publishes the following properties:
/instrumentation/gps/raim /instrumentation/gps/indicated-latitude-deg /instrumentation/gps/indicated-altitude-ft /instrumentation/gps/indicated-track-true-deg /instrumentation/gps/indicated-track-magnetic-deg /instrumentation/gps/indicated-ground-speed-kt I'm not sure whether the advanced navigation features (waypoints and so on) belong here or in a higher-level module. I'm not simulating errors and loss of satellites yet (position and altitude are always accurate), but the 'raim' property provides a future placeholder for us to do so. To try it out, browse to /instrumentation/gps/ in the property browser and watch the properties update as you fly (it's especially interesting to do so at high altitude and compare the groundspeed to the indicated airspeed). Perhaps, for a start, someone would like to throw together a very simplistic GPS display based on these properties so that we can stick it onto some panels.
