Or two points and main + cross slope.
Three pts could be an option too.

First map test using my UDP-based simulator. Andy

We only set 1 point (or average several readings but it’s only 1 point), then slope percentage and heading degrees or dual slope percentages on N/S & E/W headings.

That’s when the British drew the lines in North America.
In any other part of the world there will be few NS or EW lines.
It comes back to use a guidance line to give the slopes. Either A+heading or AB

Should the arrow be scaled to the size of the tractor (so it gets smaller on zoom out) or stay the same at all zoom levels?

Getting smaller to a certain point.
Also a line for the blade edge.

40ac field. Uses dead reckoning for smoother update. Renders benchmarks. Shows a recent path and a projected heading. The scrapers are shown actual blade width. The arrow is the width of the tractor.
Feeback and suggestions are welcome.

Are you going to have a tab with display windows of cutting data? Also would recomend adding the classic OpenGrade survey and cutline style of control. Even if you don’t foresee needing it in your case. You always need to do a little odd job here and there

What cutting data would you like to see? Surveying will be added (top right button - looks like a field). Yes, I am open to all suggestions but for those things I don’t need myself I would need others to test for me.

Not sure if you are familiar with Open Grade 2.1.3. No offense if you know all this, but I will walk though it.
@Pat v2.1.3 is the most common OG in use to my knowledge. I include link to it as well. For manual operations the lower tab in the upper right hand corner is the most used (dozer tab). In this tab you see your surveyed slope profile and your cut line drawn in the satellite tab.
Also here are the heart of operation, window 1 in image is the cut window it displays your distance above target, or below, it also shows green or red background.
Window 2 is 1st zero able window, pushing this also will zero at any time, this is also the elevation displayed in cut window if Laser Mode is selected.
Window 3 is the 2nd zero able window, it can also be switched to the 1st position by hitting the switch position
What would be nice is a 4th tab in this version. This tab would have these 3 windows in as large of a size as possible. When out in the field it would be ideal to have them large and easy to read
Hope this was understandable. Obviously you have started fresh so I don’t know your intended layout.
Thanks
