About Map tag GPS

From Factorio Mod Portal

Use the GPS tool to set direction to any existing tag or a temporary tag named 'gps-destination' and an arrow will point in that direction until the destination has been reached. Compatible with Map tag teleport.

Map tag GPS

Do you also get frustrated that you have to travel long distances and continuously check the map where you are and where you need to go? Then this mod is the solution for you!

How to use

Set your destination in just a few clicks:

  • Grab the Map Tag tool from the quick bar or with SHIFT + ALT + G
  • Set your destination
  • Click on the map to set a temporary tag 'gps-destination' (configurable)
  • Or click on any tag in the pop-up that comes with the Map Tag tool
  • An arrow will guide you to your destination

#What it does

In the GPS tool pop-up the active destinations are marked, clicking on one of the destinations cancels the navigation. At the same time there is a button available to cancel all active destinations at once.

When removing a tag from the map which is an active destination the navigation for that tag will be stopped. When completing or stopping a navigation to a temporary tag 'gps-destination' the tag is also removed.
