Description

Is is possible to dynamically calculate and display the distance between the aircraft's position and the closest point of a geofence? I appreciate that this may be a complicated thing to ask for so understand if it is not high on the priority list.
Thanks.

Research direction

The issue requests a dynamically calculated distance from the aircraft position to the closest point of a geofence, displayed as a user item. Start by locating the geofence handling and user-item display entry points in Mission Planner; done means the distance updates with aircraft movement and is visible in the requested user-item area.
