New Orbit Tool

This tool allows the user to create a new orbit on the map. First, select a point on the map which will be the center of the new orbit. To move the orbit, drag the center point to the desired position. It is also possible to set the precise coordinates of the central waypoint by double-clicking on it.

The initial circular orbit can be converted to an ellipse modifying the length of the axes the extremes. Click and drag on any of the four points to your preferences

To delete a orbit, remove the central waypoint.

Warning

Please, modify the altitude of the waypoint by clicking twice on the central waypoint.
