Astrogator
NavSat AI
This is a small, Cockpit Display that connects to the ships NavSat and Ship's Computer. The control panel sits at the base of the video display, and is a flexible keyboard.
Printed above the display is: "CPI-42 Astrogator: We'll show you the way."
In the upper right hand corner of the display are the words: "Map: Default"

Fuel
This chart shows the total fuel usage for a 10 minute jump in a craft with the listed stats. As well as showing the total overall flight time for that craft. Please note that the minutes of flight time(min) figure is not an exact number. Merely an estimate. Rely on this entirely at your own risk.

Links
Before the astrogator can determine your location in space, you must first link it with a navigation console. The Astrogator will use this connection only to gather data, and will not pilot the ship in any way. This unit must be dropped next to the console to draw any data through it's datalink.
LINK <Console> Creates a datalink with the console. UNLINK Disconnects any active link.
Plotting Courses
These commands will allow you to plot a course. Remember that the astrogator does not include acceleration for these calculations. The astrogator must also have a valid datalink to know it's current location.
PLOT COURSE Displays information on plotted course. PLOT ALL COURSES Displays a course plot to all waypoints. START AT <Waypoint> Selects the point of origin. START HERE Selects here the point of origin. STOP AT <Waypoint> Selects the destination. STOP HERE Selects here the destination. SET SPEED <Speed> Changes the speed setting. SET SPEED <Speed> JUMP Changes the speed setting.
Proximity
Destination Proximity Alerts can be set AFTER a course has been plotted via Stop At <LOCATION>
proximity/on Enables the Destination Proximity Alarm proximity/off Disables the Destination Proximity Alarm proximity <Distance> Sets the Approximate Distance to trigger the alarm (Minimum of 20)
Waypoints
Waypoints are used to store coordinates of things for use in plotting courses. Maps may contain many waypoints, and are useful for keeping coordinates arranged in a logical order.
MAP LIST Lists all maps of stored waypoints. MAP CREATE <Map> Creates a new map and loads it. MAP DEL <Map> Deletes a map. MAP LOAD <Map> Loads a map. MAP COPY <Map>=<New Map> Loads a map. WAYPOINT LIST Displays all recorded waypoints. WAYPOINT ADD <Name> = <X> <Y> <Z> Creates a waypoint. WAYPOINT STORE <Name> Creates new waypoint here. WAYPOINT DEL <Name> Deletes a waypoint. WAYPOINT SORT <NAME/DIST/X/Y/Z> Sorts the waypoint by selected criteria.
Widgets
These commands are designed to assist with navigation in other ways than just plotting a course.
ETA FOR <Distance> AT <Speed> Computes an estimated time of arrival. ETA FOR <Distance> AT <Speed> JUMP Computes an estimated time of arrival.
