Hello Darinsmyth and thank you for reaching out on the forum and through the private messages,

About a compass feature: I am absolutely interested in putting in a compass feature in the toolkit. It is on my road-map for the pack. I had already built in a few textures for compasses as a preliminary/exploratory work. I brainstorm and test ideas about compass features. Could you further describe what you you have in mind? I will surely be able to add it in the next update. I created a few more compass textures. I expanded cardinal point support, names and letter codes to 16 directions. I am testing a compass widget, north pole component, compass static mesh(es) with needle(s) and blueprint logic. Let me know if you have something else in mind or any focus area?

About real location data to the proper street names: I have played with the Google API for geocoding and it seemed promising. It is a bigger feature but I can certainly consider it for a future version of the pack: https://developers.google.com/maps/d…eocoding/intro

Hello F3NR1S, thank you for getting back to me. Basically was hoping the compass feature could be used in tandem with the location feature to indicate if the player was facing a particular direction i.e. North, South, East, West etc once they reached a particular location.

The Geocode translation feature would be fantastic, I really need ‘real’ street names rather than long/lat. Have you any suggestions how I could implement this?
