   Here's a little GPS gauge to make navigating a bit easier in CFS2,
especially for those of us who like free flight mode.  To install, just put
the CFS2GPS.GAU file in the \GAUGES subfolder of CFS2.  Those who know how to
edit PANEL.CFG files can then use the gauge on any panel.  For those who
don't, I have included a PANEL.CFG file to replace the one for the F4U1A
(Corsair).  It puts the GPS gauge next to the engine controls and might
provide some hints about how to apply it to other panels.

   Using the gauge is pretty simple.  The PWR switch turns it on and the >
and > buttons cycle forward and backward through the 51 default free flight
airfields.  The screen of the gauge then displays the name of the field, its
distance in nautical miles and a pointer to it.

   Many thanks to Wayne Cline for inspiration and programming the waypoints.

   I hereby declare this gauge to be in the Public Domain.  It should not
harm your rig but, if you imagine it has, I accept no liability.
