[Flightgear-devel] GPS

[Roy Vegard Ovesen]

I've added some more funtionality to the GPS module (gps.cxx). I can 
define a waypoint as lon and lat values, or I can input the waypoint ID 
(this currently only works for airport IDs). Now the distance, bearing and 
time to the waypoint is calculated. I can also set the desired course to 
fly through the waypoint, and the course deviation is calculated in 
degrees and in nautical miles. I also have an odometer and a trip-odometer.

I used the "Garmin GPS III Pilot - Owner's Manual & Reference" to find out 
what kind of functionality a GPS unit has. For now the GPS can only hold 
one waypoint, but I would like to extend that to a higher number in order 
to create a route (the GPS III Pilot can have 30 in each route). Routes 
could then be stored in plain text files, as could user waypoints.

Comments?
