This one will run (even with a warning).
Stubie comment included,
WritePublicText changed to WriteText
last commands removed.
Oh and island, you should put it in a programmable bloc (with the button "modify"). ;)
Better late than never... ^^

@Captain Stubing

Hey, where do you add this exactly? Maybe I'm doing it wrong

If you add this to the script it should work:

public Program()
{
Runtime.UpdateFrequency = UpdateFrequency.Update100;
}

The unreachable code messages are harmless warnings.

You have to name the screen exactly "GPS Screen" and you need to configure that screen to display text.

damn this is old... and doesn't work anymore :/

I have the same problem as Islime. updated to the newer script but doesnt seem to work says unreachable code detected when i check

Since the last update this has been flickering when displayed, like the LCD keeps resetting

nice work bro

It can't find the text panel even though I have one

Could i please request a version of this script that displays orientation and speed?

I've been all over workshop and none of the scripts out there delivered as expected :(

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!

It's all in the code, just read the comments I made.

Can you choose what blocs you get the coordinates of? and how?

Grayed out ? Check the ownership.

I've been fiddling with this thing, but can't get a timer block to "Run" the programmable block. Aside from that it's working great

Ah, cheers i'll try that, sorry man I need step by step instructions or i'am lost. :/

Ehh, you didn't change the name, you added equals quotes and the GPS Screen to it, you need to erase the entire name and only set it to GPS Screen.

So embarresing but I still can't get this to work. :(

I have changed the name of the Text panel to GPS Screen and the PB say's "exception can't find Text panel GPS Screen" here's a screenshot of what it say's and on the left the name of my Text panel.

Create a text/LCD panel with the name "GPS Screen", load the script in a programmable block and run it every time you want to update the screen, you can use a timer block with 1 second delay and run the PB and start itself.

I wish I could get this to work, I'am not good with code and I just don't know what I have to do to get this working. I have tried a few ways but alas no joy. :(

This is perfect! Thanks
