GPS to LCD/Text Panel

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 :(
