SE2 GPS Markers

Need More Information

There seems to be no easy way on the GPS interface to build a GPS marker exactly where the player is. I hit the create GPS marker button, but it created a space based marker where the mouse happened to be over the map window rather than exactly where the player was.


Also - the del button doesn't seem to delete the GPS marker at all.

Hello Tony Flury,


I was able to create a GPS marker exactly on my location by pressing the "Add GPS Marker" button on the map and delete it without a problem.

To be able to delete a marker, it must be selected and highlighted on both the menu and the map (please see the video attached).

Let me know if this helps.


Kind Regards,

try to fly to another half of the planet (from the story start) and to place GPS marker - weird things will happen. They all are randomly 60-300km away from my location. For example I place it over planet territory, but on map it appears outside the planet.


Here I tried placing close to my position, everything is a miss (Vallation station, ice cave and crashed large ship don't count, they were near story start)

"Add GPD Marker" addet exact on the Palyersboddy position a gps point.

if you use a rightclikt on the map it wil add a gps Marker everywehre but not exact on point.

its difficult add a 3D marker on a 2D map

I was able to make a gps marker, but when i attempted to delete one that i had mistyped, the game immediately crashed.


I can't say if it was in fact that action that caused the crash, but it seems plausible. Should i make a bug report for it?

I'm no dafter than the next person (I hope) but I had defaulted to right-clicking the map and finding the dialog popped up I figured that must be right. Your video has sorted me out and I think that a future tutorial should feature something like it. GPS is a vital part of this game and thinking it didn't work was depressing me.

I’ve discovered to get a precise marker location you cannot do it from the 2D map. Using the M key in the game takes you to the marker list where you can add, edit, rename and delete markers.
